Jason Hatton posts the following This non operational French telecommunications satellite was first spotted flashing by Richard Baldridge in mid August 1999...The flash period appears to be rapidly decelerating. http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/hattonjasonp/hasohp//GEO.HTML#Non%20operational not entirely clear (to me) when JH posted this, but maybe it decelerated to 00, or slowed so much the cone is smaller, or if it flashes once or twice during its "flashing cycle" now ?? I did see one flash on 30aug, but it did not repeat so I got no flash period and I think I only looked 60 to 90 sec as Rob had previously reported a ~ 30 s period w/ acceleration... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
