A nice illustration of the Delta 2 that launched IMAGE, including helium spheres and nitrogen sphere on the second stage, is on this page: http://pluto.space.swri.edu/IMAGE/delta.html The mentioned re-entry over Texas occurred in January 1997. A spherical tank was found near Seguin (east of San Antonio), and a larger cylindrical tank landed near a house just outside of Georgetown (north of Austin). This was much discussed on SeeSat during January and February 1997, under the following and similar subjects: "Possible reentry over Texas" "MSX Delta reentry over Texas ?" "Reentry over Texas?" "Another TV report re: 96-24B (23852, MSX Rk)" "Fame comes to Bjoern" Here are the URLs for those two months on the Seesat Hypermail Archive: http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/Jan-1997/ http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/Feb-1997/ I don't know if any of the photos are still online. The local TV station here removed their story and photos some time ago.
