Re: Black Knight Satellite Link From NASA
This is what I heard from uncle,
Yes it is still up there, still transmitting, but the origin is known, it was launched by the UK. The rocket was a black Arrow, a development of the Black Knight, the Satellite is called Prospero.

Re: Black Knight Satellite Link From NASA

It was a space derelict, the remains of an Air Force Discoverer satellite that had gone astray.
 Quoting: Ostria1


well i found the launch of Corona, Discoverer 5, 1959


read the "about"


the official announcement
Finally on February 24, 1960, the following Announcement was made "official." ft was released by the Defense Department: "The mysterious object recently discovered in polar orbit around the earth probably is the capsule of the Discoverer V space vehicle launched by the United States last August 13. On the basis of analysis to date, it is believed this vehicle most probably is the ejected recovery capsule of Discoverer V launched into polar orbit in August. The refined analysis of radar returns, the Defense Department said, now indicates the mystery object is about 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet long, the size of the Discoverer V capsule. The capsule separated from its launcher August 14 according to radio telemetry information (received from the carrier rocket)."


but look how the capsules looked like
[link to en.wikipedia.org]
 Quoting: Unc Al 32672372

You missed the key point...

"The Genesis sample return capsule tumbles to Earth only moments before it crashed."

So we can debunk that one. cool2

It's interesting that there seems to be an agreement among almost all of the countries capable of space flight and satellite launch to put nothing into polar orbit, even though they now have that capability (at least in theory).

And when the N. Koreans tried to put their "satellite" into polar orbit, it mysteriously spun out of control...

Apparently a decission has been made to not mess with this thing, whatever it is...

You don't like parsimony?
It's a very useful intellectual tool.
 Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD

It's a typical fallacy of the quasi-intellectual scientist who prefers easy and simplistic answers to complicated matters.
 Quoting: Dutch Coward 32129936

Inventing unnecessary entities is logical now?
Why do you feel the need to insult every single scientist ever?
 Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD

I don't insult every scientist ever, surely there are a lot of great ones.
 Quoting: Dutch Coward 32129936

Every scientist worth their money applies Occam's Razor.
It separates the bullcrap from what we actually know.

What I do is looking through the fallacies of many scientists who pretend to be intellectual. Ppl who claim authority and think their subjective truth is the only right one.
 Quoting: Dutch Coward 32129936

Which has what to do with anything?
Science is not about authority.
Scientists make fun of other scientists if those scientists make claims based on their authority alone.
All that matters are facts and logic.

For sure parsimony is a useful tool for simple scientific matters, not so for unexplained complicated matters, IMO.
 Quoting: Dutch Coward 32129936

I'm getting a suspicious you don't actually know what the Razor is.

I do regard myself as a sceptic, and a real sceptic is open minded, and doesn't fall for fallacies. Every subject and situation need it's own unique approach.
 Quoting: Dutch Coward 32129936

What it needs most is facts.

Kudos, although it doesn't resemble crumpled thermal foil.
 Quoting: Dutch Coward 32129936

Why not? It would explain its asymmetric and weird geometry.
Some types of thermal foil are reflective on one side and black on the other, btw.

Still, you have a good point it could be something from the Orbiter, but why doesn't NASA state and explain this?
 Quoting: Dutch Coward 32129936

They've got a million of pictures.
No time, no money, to identify everything floating around.
There's always stuff floating around.

In 2009 I mailed them about this object, not suggesting anything, but I didn't get a reply. According to NASA labeling it space debris does suffice I guess...
 Quoting: Dutch Coward 32129936

They know space debris, they made a lot of it.

Oh really this again, as others have pointed out there are a load of threads relating to this, most get de-railed by one thing or another.

Supposedly when Time ran the piece about it back in the 60's people were allegedly warned off the subject.

All the major services that have launched satellites have also run programs called Black Knight which does make it a little harder to try and find the relevant stuff that relates to this

As an aside, what did / does the x37b do when it went off into orbit for a year and longer than originally planned.

Did N Korea try and launch something to have a look at it and get fucked off ? Who knows

Will Never A Straight Answer ever tell what they know, doubt it. Even if it was about to destroy the world, there would be the argument about not wanting to cause panic among the populace.
Do they even have it already ?

We may never know.

That's the problem with observing transient phenomena.
If the observation doesn't yield sufficient information to allow for a positive identification than that's that.

Prove the bolded part. I'll bet you can't. The reason some are a degree off is to widen their field of view. An exact polar orbit only moves East to West with the rotation of the Earth. If it can see wider than the rotation moves it in each orbit then it has wasted time. Also, being a degree off minimizes the collision probability.

Most all satellites are in geosynchronous equatorial orbit.
A stable orbit requires the satellite move forward at the same speed it is falling toward earth.
Due to rotation of earth "coriolis" effect, polar satellites must be assisted by boosters.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20635949

More true for communication and weather satellites.
Other Earth observation satellites (including spy-sats) and the Iridium system uses polar orbits, gets them global coverage.
The Russians like Molniya orbits because so much of their landmass is at higher latitudes.

A stable orbit requires the satellite move forward at the same speed it is falling toward earth.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20635949

On average.
It doesn't matter which direction though, as long as the orbit doesn't intersect with the Earth (including atmosphere).

Due to rotation of earth "coriolis" effect, polar satellites must be assisted by boosters.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20635949

This is and meaningless and nonsense.

Because a polar orbit is at right angles with the rotational direction of the Earth you don't get to use the speed benefit of said rotation.
IOW, you need to expend more energy to get a satellite in a polar orbit, i.e. a bigger rocket.
There's nothing in the laws of physics that prohibits a polar orbit.
It does not require energy to maintain an orbit (if high enough).

the proof of no polar satellites, google earth..look at north and south poles...notice the blank spots..thats because satellites cannot view that part of earth...unless in true polar orbit....
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20635949

As pointed out above getting a satellite in a 90 degrees orbit is more expensive than getting it in a 89 degrees orbit.
And since there are permanent observation stations at both poles it's not always worth the bother.

You're using Google Earth as a reference on what satellites can do?
Why would Google even buy images of the poles, they'd just be expanses of whiteness.

Re: Black Knight Satellite Link From NASA
The "Black Knight" sat has been known about and up there for many years!

There are two basic choices.

a.) it's been orbiting since pre-deluvian times and is a product of a much earlier and much more advanced civilization that was flourishing on this earth sometime before 3000 BC.

b.) it was placed there by some other alien civilization perhaps to monitor radio and electro-magnetic transmissions from earth - relaying them to some distant civilization that may or may not still be in existence today.

We now know that Faster-than-light travel is entirely possible, chances are extremely high that transmission of information using entangled objects is also possible and can take place instantly across vast reaches of space and even perhaps across time.

This could also be some sort of defensive device placed in orbit by either a benevolent alien civilization or a pre-flood ultra-advanced civilization that was thriving on earth in the distant reaches of prehistory, that can and will be called upon to deflect potential collisions with comets, asteroids, etc. If that is indeed what it is - we can only hope it is still working should it ever be needed before our own tech can provide a similar level of defense against such potential world-destroying entities.

it is the only thing in a true polar orbit, and it's stationary.

all satellites cannot pass directly over the poles as they interact with the magnetic field lines and crash.

imo it's either a grey command post, or a remnant of the orion group's energetic sustenance satellites.

it's not inert, it puts out radio signals. some ham guys said they deciphered it and it had starmaps.

Re: Black Knight Satellite Link From NASA
Ive researched some stuff about it that is quite interresting.

1. Look at date that photo was taken , then look at mission sts-088 description at wiki and nasa pages. shot was taken when shuttle was DOCKED to newly ISS after connecting Unity with Zaria.

2. Orbit inclination of ISS is 51,6 deg, altitude about 400 km. If this mysterious item have polar orbit - it was an INCREDIBLY coincidence to spot with ISS at same time when there was Endeavour.
