Maybe something to look for. > Jonathan's Space Report > No. 476 2002 Apr 9 Cambridge, MA > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- > Kosmos-2388 was launched on Apr 1 by Molniya-M from area 16, pad 2 at > Plesetsk (thanks to Alex Zheleznyakov for pad info). It is a US-KS (Oko) > elliptical orbit early warning satellite built by Lavochkin. The launch > was reported as successful, but GSFC had still not posted any Space > Command element sets by Apr 8 for the elliptical orbit (although the > Blok-I rocket and BOZ ullage system left in low orbit have now been > cataloged.) It's very unusual for this kind of satellite not to be > tracked immediately, and it has probably gone into a non-standard orbit. > The usual initial orbit for Oko satellites is about 500 x 39000 km x > 62.9 deg; the Blok-I is in a standard 231 x 490 km x 62.8 deg > low parking orbit. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
