91082A was less than 1 s late and less than 0.05 deg off the track predicted by the search elements that I posted yesterday. I derived the following elements from my observations of 7 and 8 September UTC: DMSP B5D2-6 6.4 1.7 0.0 6.4 v 5.43 1 21798U 91082A 00252.02575810 .00000300 00000-0 15595-3 0 08 2 21798 98.8028 280.9337 0017409 159.0623 201.1176 14.14647514 08 Mean residuals are less than 1 arc min, but this is based on only 5 points observed over 24 h, so I expect the elements to change a bit with further observations. I observed the following points last night: 21798 91 082A 2701 G 20000908004909890 17 25 1544013+242613 28 S 21798 91 082A 2701 G 20000908005029280 17 25 1402197+454804 77 S 21798 91 082A 2701 G 20000908005210760 17 25 1129633+544416 18 S Ted Molczan ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
