Both Ed Cannon and Brad Young spotted this unknown again on Saturday evening after an interval of 3 days. My best guess is a mean motion of 2.33: Unk 070914 1 90077U 07757A 07266.04090415 0.00000800 00000-0 61820-3 0 04 2 90077 28.1149 225.5919 7211623 30.9192 329.0806 2.33711000 04 There is a small chance that the correct answer is mean motion 2.67: Unk 070914 1 90077U 07757A 07266.04422606 0.00000400 00000-0 16652-2 0 03 2 90077 28.1613 226.9959 6875665 32.2890 327.7108 2.67092803 00 A typical pass has looked like this forecast for tomorrow night: 30.3 97.9 Bee Caves Rsrch Ctr 2007 Sep 26 *** Times are UT *** 90077 Unk 070914 Mag Hrs Min Alt Azi Hgt Range 5.2 1 52 49 225 546 692 4.7 1 53 67 180 643 692 4.8 1 54 62 125 749 831 5.3 1 55 51 106 863 1051 5.8 1 56 43 98 984 1309 6.3 1 57 37 94 1111 1582 6.7 1 58 33 92 1244 1862 7.0 1 59 29 90 1381 2144 So it has been seen going quite fast near azimuth 180 and it goes into the Earth's shadow about 7 minutes later about 30 degrees up in the east. It helped a lot to have a different perspective on the orbit from Tulsa.
