That, of course, assumes they can *find* the damn thing...

Imaging Satellite Lost in Space
Wired News Report
7:25 a.m. 28.Apr.99.PDT
Ikonos, where are you?
Denver-based Space Imaging had lauded
the Ikonos 1 as the first satellite to provide
high-resolution images for sale to a range
of industries, from farming to construction.
But hours after its debut launch on
Tuesday, operators said they had failed to
receive signals from the orbiter.
Or, as Space Imaging's Web site put it,
Iknonos had "experienced an anomaly."
Ikonos, built by Lockheed Martin Missiles &
Space, was shot into space atop a
Lockheed Martin Athena II rocket that lifted
off from California's Vandenberg Air Force
Base shortly before noon on Tuesday. And
then?
"We are gravely disappointed that we have
not established contact with the Ikonos
satellite as of this time," Space Imaging's
chief executive officer John Copple said.
Copple did not say if Space Imaging
expected to eventually make contact with
the satellite, but said the twin satellite
Ikonos 2 had been built, just in case.
