Last night a short clear spell enabled me to see USA 129, 96-72A, after it left eclipse low in the north. I made two observations from the bedroom window. The orbit below uses my observations and those of Russell Ebert and Bjoern Gimle made between September 7 and 12, using the inclination it had before its recent manoeuvre. The rate of decay, ndot, is now well detemined. From the UK we should be able to track USA 129 into November, though eclipse exit will remain quite low in the north. David.
