alan: do you have an estimated decay date for 22925? thanks, Paul -----Original Message----- From: Alan Pickup [mailto:alan@wingar.demon.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 8:39 AM To: SeeSat-L Subject: Decay watch: 2000 Sep 12 Summary from my updated Decay Watch page... _____________________________________________________________________ #14693 = 84- 11 E = Palapa B2 r (PAM-D) I still predict this decay for September 24. SpaceCom has not updated its prediction for decay on the 9th. Palapa B2 r 234 x 175 km 1 14693U 84011E 00256.18689780 .00568497 -79834-5 13217-3 0 7987 2 14693 28.1246 209.7955 0044190 93.8924 27.1871 16.25561076911622 _____________________________________________________________________ #25310 = 98- 23 E = Globalstar 6 Delta 2 rocket Current decay estimates: SpaceCom: Sep 17 06:02 +-2d 50.8 S 15.5 E SatEvo: Sep 18 17:55 +-1.8d Latest elset: Gblstr 6 Dlt r 6.0 3.0 0.0 4.5 d 14 290 x 200 km 1 25310U 98023E 00256.17590382 .01367202 11587-4 93165-3 0 8422 2 25310 52.8670 240.8489 0068078 311.4020 156.4840 16.10586970129290 _____________________________________________________________________ #26491 = 88- 81 F = GStar 3 Ariane 3 deb Current decay estimates: SpaceCom: Sep 14 20:40 +-2d 0.9 N 72.7 W SatEvo: Sep 18 06:20 +-3d Latest elset: GStar 3 Ariane 3 deb F 1161 x 175 km 1 26491U 88081F 00256.17822881 .06795049 -24800-4 72533-2 0 56 2 26491 7.4334 244.2658 0700263 241.7374 111.0359 14.67864387 49302 I do not know whether this newly catalogued debris object would be observable, though the fact that SpaceCom has posted a decay notice suggests that it might be large enough. Eclipse entry occurs northbound near 6 deg N in the evening and it leaves eclipse near its southbound equator crossing in the morning. Only a short span of elsets is available, so the prediction is uncertain. _____________________________________________________________________ Alan -- Alan Pickup / COSPAR 2707: 55d53m48.7s N 3d11m51.2s W 156m asl Edinburgh / SatEvo & elsets: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/ Scotland / Decay Watch: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
