Because it is not critical that data is received immediately after launch, we have decided to commence SLR tracking after we have officially received word that the satellite has successfully been placed into its orbit, and both NORAD and COSPAR have officially assigned numbers. Therefore, we will not be sending temporary numbers and initial acquisition data will not be available for a few days. Some mission information: Launch: September 22, 2001 (1:00 - 3:00 GMT) Altitude: 470 km Inclination: 67.048 deg Eccentricity: .000066 SIC: TBD COSPAR: TBD Npt bin size: 5 secs Launch location: Kodiak Island in Alaska Weather conditions: Forecast not favorable for launch as of Sept 20, 2001 Launch Status: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/athena/kodiakstar/status.html Once NORAD and COSPAR numbers are available, the SLR test of this satellite will commence. As was stated in the SLRMail No. 0802, the ILRS Governing Board has approved a one-month test by a small number of stations to verify satellite performance. There are a number of concerns about the quality of the cornercubes and the low orbit. If acquisition is successful and data yield is reasonable, approval will then be requested from the Governing Board. The NASA Network of stations have been tasked with this original test, but acquisition data will be available to all stations who are interested in this mission. We will keep all of you informed as information is available.
