 Subject: Cosmonauts Enroute to Mir


  Hello All Mir Fans,
      For those following the progress of Mir and the possible return of
  Amateur Radio SSTV, Voice and Packet after the new Crew boards Mir,  there
is now an interesting story  running on the web:
                                       http://www.msnbc.com/news/303767.asp

      Also of interest for those who are tracking Mir, or getting ready to
  track Mir, Norad has added the Keplerain elements for the Soyuz TM-30
which
  is presently carrying the Cosmonats, Commander Sergei Zalyotin and Alex
  Kaleri, U8MIR to the Mir space Station.  If the Soyuz Keps are added to
one
  of the tracking programs we can watch the progress of the 2 space
vehicles.
  Presently as of 15:17 UTC Wed Apr 5, 2000 these space vehicles are an
  estimated 3000 miles apart.  The Soyuz TM-30 is ahead of Mir but lower in
 altitude by some 100 kilometers..
      Keep tuned for further updates.  Farrell Winder, W8ZCF
