Whilst I certainly agree that it would be nice to receive those annual booklets again, I don't think it would be a viable project for Northrop Grumman. First of all, how many people would really be interested, apart from George, Greg, Phil Clark, this guy in Spain, perhaps Ted, and then - of course - myself. A pretty limited production run as far as I can see. But then I recall that I looked forward to the TRW space log to start my annual update of my satellite database. The RAE Table and Spacewarn Bulletin I received only carried basic details - TRW Space Log gave me the descriptions of the sat. These days, with the magic of the Internet, I usually get my updates within hours of the launch, and more often than not, I got the description data ready and only have to wait to enter the launch date etc. So, apart from sentimental or collecter's valua, there would be little use for a NG Space Log. But I am glad my (small) ex-collection now happily rests with George in San Diego and that I did not dump it to make space on my overcrowded bookshelves.
