    Dear all,
    
    I have observed occasionally that some dodgy Iridium satellites refused
    to flare, eventhough heavens-above said they would.
    I suppose that this is not a problem with heavens-above and that the
    no-show satellites dont follow the attitude laws assumed by our
    favourite website. 
    Is this correct? If yes, is there a list of Iridiums that refuse flare
    in a predictable way, maybe because they are in-orbit spares or
    malfunctioning?
    
    Thanks in advance!
    
    Rainer
