It had made 7434 revolutions around the earth between the date of its launch from Kodiak, Alaska, on September 29, 2001, and its fiery end on January 21, 2003. The exact location of its flameout is still uncertain, but we know that its final half orbit carried it in a northeasterly direction over California, Nevada and Idaho in the U.S., then across Alberta and Saskatchewan in western Canada, then in an easterly direction across Hudson´s Bay, Baffin Island and the southern tip of Greenland, then in a southeasterly direction along the southern coast of Iceland, down along the eastern coast of Scotland and England, across the border of France and Germany, right along the spine of Italy, across the Mediterranean Sea west of Crete and into North Africa near the border between Libya and Egypt. We would like to thank everyone in the SLR/ILRS community for the efforts that you made to the Starshine-3 mission.
