Subject: CHAMP ILRS COSPAR Type Number is 0003902

We are glad to inform you, that CHAMP´s COSPAR number can finally
be considered being fixed at 0003902. This is due to the fact
that USSPACECOM will definitely stick to the international
designator 2000-039B (converted to ILRS type: 0003902) for CHAMP.
This numbering is not according to COSPAR rules because CHAMP was
separated first in the 039 launch and therefore should get piece
number A. However USSPACECOM considers a correction of this
problem as being extremely difficult. Anyway we can live with
it.

The procedure of adopting this number within ILRS should be
coordinated by Mike Pearlman.

Best regards

Chris Reigber, CHAMP Mission Director
