Justin of spaceflight now, sent me a email about my message saying the dropped the orbit of the delta rocket. http://www.satobs.org/seesat/May-2006/0028.html Problem he says the That actually happened immediately after CloudSat separation as part of the collision avoidance and propellant depletion maneuvers. And that The disposal orbit should be 105x347 nautical miles at 103.32deg inclination following the depletion burn at T+2hours, 29minutes Yet I observed something on Apr 29 http://www.kfetter.com/satvideo/042906/29109.wmv Which matchs the rocket in this orbit. DELTA 2 R/B 1 29109U 06016C 06119.28123963 .00007790 00000-0 15556-2 0 49 2 29109 098.2360 062.4277 0003269 291.8996 068.2156 14.62178048 103 A screen shot of where it was at the time I observed it, according to guide 8 http://www.kfetter.com/rocket/object.jpg So If it's not the rocket, what else could it be, I so far get no matching object to what I observed. So I still think they dropped the rocket's orbit recently, as shown on space track. Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
