(meteorobs) Was ____ a satellite re-entry?
General information: The best site of which I'm aware
for satellite re-entry predictions and after-the-fact
reports of what re-entered when are prepared by Alan
Pickup. Here is his Web page on this topic:
http://www.wingardot demon.codot uk/satevo/current.htm
On a more frequent basis Alan publishes predictions for
specific objects:
http://www.wingardot demon.codot uk/satevo/dkwatch/
and he compares his results with those of NASA's Orbital
Information Group (OIG), whose home page is:
http://oig1.gsfc.nasadot gov/scripts/foxweb.dll/app01?
Alan also posts his SatEvo decay predictions to the SeeSat-L
mailing list, which is archived at:
http://www2.satellite.eu.org/sat/seesat/
(which, it's been said, is offline until sometime later
today due to Y2K safety measures); and he also publishes
them on the Usenet newsgroup:
sci.astro.satellites.visual-observe
For any who might not know how, I've made up a small Web
page explaining various ways to access the newsgroup:
