[amsat-bb] Re: FO-29 not listed on AMSAT.org sat status page
Look at the list of all satellites and it's there. Since it's currently inoperative, it drops off the regular status page. 73, Drew KO4MA Sent from my iPhone On Oct 15, 2011, at 12:16 AM, Tom Schuessler tjschuess...@verizon.net wrote: Am I missing something but is there not a listing for FO-29 on the Sat Status page? ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Pass Duration vs Max Elevation
Lynn, The correlation works well for birds in a circular orbit, but elliptical orbits are another story. A high elliptical orbit could result in a long pass at a very low elevation, or a very short pass at 90 degrees if perigee is over the ground station. Since the current fleet of birds are in circular orbits it won't matter but if you are coding a program you might want to account for possible future HEO birds. I find both numbers to be useful (pass duration and max elevation). Best '73 - de Ed N8BBQ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
