Looking at the dozens of images of the GRACE pair, I don't see any way to get a glint off the spacecraft unless it is improperly oriented. Check the image gallery: <http://www.csr.utexas.edu/grace/gallery/other/IABG/> The trapezoidal ends were the only hope, and unfortunately their normals are perpendicular to nadir, which means glints could only occur during daytime. --Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
