Satellite problem; Suggestion

Jari Suomela Sep 25, 2006

Hi Bill,

There's something really odd going on with the Seasat 1 debris (NORAD
28843; International 1978064Q). If one is to believe Guide, the
satellite is currently at a range 1.8 milloin km and fast spiralling
farther. Never seen such behaviour in Guide. Is this an elements
(I'm using current Space Track elements) or a Guide problem?

Which remainds me of a suggestion I meant to make in my previous post:
Would it be terribly difficult to make satellite trails different
(e.g. stop, turn dark, broken line) when the satellite is in the shadow?

Kind regards,
Jari
