Dear Graham, There was nothing special in the separation systems between the 1U's from the ELaNa 3 launch. They are certainly close together, in fact there are three 1Us we think in the link group. Object F appears to be AubieSat and Object G is E1P. MCubed is somewhere in between it seems.
Object E is RAX-2. --Jamie KF6RFX On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 5:51 AM, <g.shirvi...@btinternet.com> wrote: > I am intrigued that the six objects from this launch seem not to be > separating as far/fast as I would have expected.
