I found these helpful bits yesterday. First is the general announcement page for the mission, which holds the "News Flash" content: http://www.jaxa.jp/countdown/f13/index_e.html An index to the older flashes: http://www.jaxa.jp/countdown/f13/topics/index_e.html Some German observers have a brief discussion going: http://www.raumfahrer.net/forum/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1167773555/61 One author cites this location: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?s=c800c4dcc20c03bfd5e3d76ba7a5ce6c&showtopic=4271&st=30&p=99500&#entry99500 There is a timeline laid out there. 3 October is when the LOI burn happens. There are a few new events coming up in the next few days, and the vehicle's perigee should still be within range of optical tracking (1039km), but the period is 9d23h31m. There is probably only one pass before the LOI burn puts it into selenocentric orbit. This document gives some details of the orbit, and is from the 19th: http://www.jaxa.jp/countdown/f13/topics/pdf/0919_2330_vp1_e.pdf John - -- 30d8m42.6sN 97d52m43.8sW/30.145167 -97.878833 220m WGS84 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG8czXThFRLa48rEYRArk/AJ9B0YW/kXdyQeZX38Vyhz4qsH4omQCghTBF JssBGyi1FALhg9GX5h2cyE0= =zr21 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
