The only decay of note yesterday was of the Proton platform component of a russian launch to geostationary orbit. 2000 67D cat num 26582. However according to US Spacecom decay report on The OIG site at NASA Goddard, that decay was at 1149UT + or - 16 minutes. The orbit plane was near the position you give around 1500UT and 2200 UT Oct 22, so It really cant be what was seen. More debris from the launch decays about 10 or 11 hours UT Oct 23 (now) Tony Beresford ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
