Mir de-orbit

James Ellis Nov 25, 2000

Hi all

I've just read that the Russians plan to deorbit Mir somewhere east of
Australia, hopefully not NZ! in Feb 2001.


Is the orbit to unstable to make any accurate simulations with Guide? I'm
not a real satellite buff but as this one is the equivalent of a large
rusty Volvo I am interested to see if it will appear over Sydney.

Remember Skylab hit WA in (75?)

Cheers

hoping I haven't hurt any Volvo drivers
