At their present rate of separation, the STSS Demo spacecraft will reach their planned separation of 35 deg of central angle, or about 11 min of time, on or about 2009 Oct 15 UTC. At that time, 09052B can be expected to manoeuvre to match the mean motion of 09052A. 00596A 1973 X 38374 km 1 90006U 00596A 09284.96645088 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 07 2 90006 63.7313 75.5507 6854902 274.5010 16.5174 2.00655434 05 Arc 20090909.84-1012.18 WRMS resid 0.004 totl 0.004 xtrk 05864A 2253 X 38101 km 1 90046U 05864A 09284.34950234 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 08 2 90046 63.4606 120.9618 6749655 269.9126 19.0883 2.00611050 04 Arc 20090927.14-1011.78 WRMS resid 0.026 totl 0.022 xtrk Ted Molczan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
