SEASAT 1 ALWAYS MAJESTUOUS
seasat_majestic seasat_1_always_majestuous Since its launch , its altitude decreased from 800 kms on 1978 to 750kms on 2007 so it became brighter every year. Its transit seems to be that of a mere heliosynchronous(98°) one but the computer gives with...

How to observe satellites

How to observe satellites
Today, with using REVOSAT’s software it is easy to know the decreasing height of the station, then the increasing height by the boosting of the shuttle or supply vehicle.But also after the departure of the shuttles from the Cape Canaveral, their passage...

VISIBILITIES OF AUREOLE 2 ROCKET

VISIBILITIES OF AUREOLE 2 ROCKET
visibility_of_aureole_2_rocketdiag_aureole2_roc Aureole 2 rocket is the more visible of series Aureole. Its orbit is very elliptic 364*987 Kms*74°(ESA-NASA) so its visibility is function of the shift of the ascending node and also the rotation of perigee....
