I stand corrected. I gathered what I found before was information about Alouette 2's debris, which I assumed was referring to an inactive satellite. There's also an entry for 1965-098K, which is also debris. The correct URLs for Alouette 2 would be: http://n2yo.com/satellite/?s=1804 http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/masterCatalog.do?sc=1965-098A There's more information on Alouette 2 at: http://astronautix.com/craft/alouette.htm Also, I found these links to be useful: http://planet4589.org/space/space.html http://planet4589.org/space/log/launch.html http://planet4589.org/space/log/satcat.txt By the way, your comments prompted me to look up the HearSat mailing list and I signed up for it earlier this evening. Thanks for the tip. Now I have another way to have fun with satellites! Perhaps listening for old satellites might be a suitable topic for a Journal article. 73s Bernhard VA6BMJ @ DO33FL _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
