Actually right now according to those stats on the tracking page, the sat is looking pretty good right now
Altitude is almost perfect, however it is still moving.
Location could be right because they said they would put it into a testing orbit first, anyone remember that location?
Any thoughts?

Looks good,At least its over the equator! Finally!
Well, there is a little bit of change in apogee/perigee/inclination in the last 10 days.
I wonder if the change is man made, or if gravity/nature is the cause???

Yea I take that back! being over Australia isn't going to help us too much!It is still doing its "thing".
You just happened to notice it while it was near the equator.
Maybe "SOON" they'll figure out what to do with it.![]()
Wait wait....let me say it. Please?
Its gonna crash....wait no it isn't. Its climbinng...go baby go.
LOL. Love this thread.
Like the ones who lanched this satellite in the first place.I'd like to nominate this thread as being populated by some of the stupidest people in the world. .

I'd like to nominate this thread as being populated by some of the stupidest people in the world. But it is a fun read. Just wish there would be some really good news instead of speculation.
Yea this is psmith trying to stir the pot.. We have allready choked this up to be bogus. Psmith, come back with the sources where ses americom said that the satellite would be a total loss as stated in the article. There is no need to post this in mutlitple places when its allready being talked about in another thread!
