Subject: Successful REFLECTOR pass at Moblas5

Hi,

We have just taken a successful SLR pass of the Reflector satellite.
The pass details are:

Eph #355 (MCC)

Time Bias +240mS

Az/El Biases - nominal

Range Bias - 0uS

Visibility - ok, a bit weaker than Topex

SLR return strength: Slightly variable - there are dead times but these are
relatively short (especially above 30 deg). Most of the time during the pass
it was stronger than Lageos 2 but weaker than other LEO sats.

We obtained several hundred returns on a 64 degree pass.

NP&#180;s will follow shortly via the normal channels

Regards,
Randall Carman
