Yesterday I happened to look up this year's latest launch online (launch 2005-046) and found that Space Track had misspelled the name Telkom as Telcom and misattributed it to the US instead of to Indonesia in its listing. So I dutifully made the corrections to my copy of the Satellite Situation Report. Today I was amused to find those exact corrections in Space Track's 7-day update--kinda like deja vu all over again. Space Track has also renumbered the objects in the 1994-085 launch, which had apparently been missing the E object for several years (I hadn't noticed that little bug before). What had previously been cataloged as the E object turned out to be 1971-120G. Now there is an E object again, and the AA object (last in the series) is gone. I also note that Space Track has now added the SL-8 upper stage to the name of object number 28898, and it has relettered it 2005-043G from 2005-043J. I had made the former correction just a few days ago. Now if only they would use those three presently unassigned catalog numbers... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
