Subject: APT-Satellites: Report OCT 23, 1994
Observed at station 50.7 NLat, 7.1 ELon, OCT 23, 1994
NOAA-9: APT 137.62 On
NOAA-10: APT 137.50 On
NOAA-11: APT 137.62 Burst On, no AVHRR
NOAA-12: APT 137.50 On
Meteor 3-5: APT 137.85 On
Okean 7-1 APT 137.40 Sometimes On
NOAA-11 imaging is dead. Okean 1-7 started APT during
rev. #176 over the Black See at 13h 11min 10sec UT ascending.
I copied a very dark vis-image 240 lpm from a max elevation
of 12 deg, this showed the spacecraft clock was working at
973 mins after midnight moscow-time = 16h13mins Moscow-time
= 13.13 UT. During next rev #177 APT was OFF.
I wonder if the satellite is ever active over the US,
please mail your observations.
