Subject: Sunsat Identifiers Final Resolution



There has been much confusion about this identification of SUNSAT along
with the Oersted satellite.
According to NORAD and COSPAR, the identification problem is now resolved
for both these satellites.
Please ignore the earlier SLRmail message 320 (subject: SUNSAT COSPAR
ID).

The proper identifiers for Sunsat are as follows:

NORAD SSC is 25636
COSPAR ID is 9900803
SIC is 2301

Some stations have been providing Sunsat normal points with a COSPAR ID
of 9900802. This data will be recalled, corrected and resupplied to the
CDDIS.

We are very sorry for the confusion and regret any inconvenience this may
have caused.
