Re: prize ... and bragging rights to the annoyance of all your ham-sat friends ... -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of John Heath Sent: September 30, 2009 3:53 PM To: Amsat Subject: [amsat-bb] Cute 1.7 Re Entry Competition Hi folks, Thanks for the entries so far. It has been pointed out that I didn't allow much time, so the closing date is now one day later, midnight October 1st To enter this fun competition send me your best estimate for the re-entry date and time for Cute 1.7 Object 28941 Spacetrack suggests October 10th but I think it will be several days later. The prize for the closest prediction is a 2.4GHz patch antenna kit as shown on the Amsat-UK shop page under hardware. 73 John G7HIA ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

Reminds me of the Chicken Little Contests when Vern Riportella was around.

I have been tracking the orbital changes of the Castor Pollux pair with an interest. Their mass differences are showing up quite clearly in the Mean Motion. Cute 1.7 is different again being such a small mass, and adds another level of interest. Glad to have your prediction to add to the table. 73 John G7HIA From: Nigel Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF To: John Heath Cc: Amsat Sent: Monday, 28 September, 2009 6:36:55 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Cute 1.7 Re-Entry I posted the following on this a week or so ago: Spacetrack is predicting that CUTE 1.7 will decay on 10th October.
