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
