Envisat Image

All
I have recently been trying to get an image of something other than the ISS
which might show some detail. Here is a link to an image of Envisat which is
a large satellite in a polar orbit which makes it ideal for imaging due to
regular passes and an apparent size around 7 arcseconds.

So far I haven't been able to work out what orientation the satellite was in
when the image was taken.

Does anyone know how Envisat flies ? Does it have standard flight modes like
the ISS (XVV and XPOP) ? If so I will be able to incorporate a simple model
in my ISS Simulator porgram. The model is on the page above already and will
run in the simulator but not necessarily in the correct orientation.

regards
Phil
