Hi, In the press kit for STS-112 we read: Experiments Ram Burn Observations (RAMBO) Ram Burn Observations (RAMBO) is a Department of Defense experiment that observes shuttle Orbital Maneuvering System engine burns for the purpose of improving plume models. On STS-112 the appropriate sensors will observe selected rendezvous and orbit adjust burns. And Payloads of Opportunity The objective of the Ram Burn Observation (RAMBO) payload is to help calibrate the RAMBO satellite. This requires retrograde, posigrade, and out-of-place burns. The location of the RAMBO satellite is classified. In the STS-107 science program kit, we found: Satellite sensor calibration RAMBO, Ram Burn Observation, USAF Space and Missile Center, Los Angeles, CA, U.S. Air Force So the question is: What is RAMBO satellite if one knows? Which USA-XXX satellite may be identified as RAMBO on the basis of observation geometry of known STS-112 engine firings?
