Hi, > There appears to have been a subsequent small manoeuvre, perhaps a nudge closer > to the eccentricity and argument perigee of the typical 57 deg Lacrosse frozen > orbit. Here are preliminary elements, based on a fairly short arc: > > Lacrosse 5 0.0 0.0 0.0 3.4 v > 1 28646U 05016A 05130.03868548 .00000042 00000-0 10000-4 0 03 > 2 28646 57.0063 94.8667 0001657 79.1016 281.0183 14.53353903 01 > Arc 2005 May 09.09 - 10.20, WRMS residuals = 0.021 deg Observed what obiously was near-zenith pass of Lacrosse 5 from Moscow close to this elset. At 19:31:24 crossed the line of Kappa and Iota UMa, to the north of Iota, at the distance equal to Kappa-Iota distance. At 19:32:10 passed between Beta and Alpha UMa (dividing the line at 4 to 6 ratio).
