Better keep our hard hats ready??? Here is the article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22857051/ |

Here are the images of US-193 in orbit.
Credit John Locker of Great Britain. He says that the solar wings that are so visible with other sats are not visible in his images He thinks they failed to deploy image us-193-1 is during September at a range of 340km image us-193-2 is a high elevation morning pass in December at ~300km cheers -------------------- CLA CLL
