| miabelieves User ID: 1468143 United States12/12/2012 06:46 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | please refer to my other posts in this thread, it is not malfunctioning in the way you think. am I understanding what you are saying that as it stays in orbit it will move closer with each pass over land (USA)??? also, if it malfunctioned that does not mean it will fall but maybe NK can't get data??? thanks in advance Hold on to your undies, it's gonna be a hell of a ride |

| theDtrain User ID: 24782941 United States12/12/2012 06:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | CBS just stated it is likely to stay in orbit a year or two. Quoting: Kybeam 27604421 Where'd they get that ? What?! Stay in orbit and just knock into other satellites? Cue a shoot down in 5... Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." We can never shed our sins and regrets, only accumulate more, a burden that we grow and carry until our deaths. The best we can do is learn to live with ourselves, to accommodate our pasts |

| Renegade (Me too) User ID: 28510817 United States12/12/2012 06:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yea it has now passed perigee and is climbing to apogee. Quoting: CharlieMurphy It is in a very highly inclined orbit, meaning it goes from North to South and South to North over the poles. This type of orbit allows you to observe every part of the Earth as it rotates underneath the satellite. This was no weather satellite... It was intended as a spy satellite, hopefully it really did malfunction and is useless now. Thanks for the intel. yea Charlie, thanks, I learned a lot. Who is John Galt? |

Its taking away from all their fiscal sensationalism. so sick of hearing about it quite frankly, it's a big political hot potato anyway, and were the ones that are gonna get screwed in the end |
| CharlieMurphy User ID: 21085501 United States12/12/2012 06:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24590938 Looks like it's only the east coast that has to worry? Until it makes its next pass, the satellite orbits along the same track, and the Earth slowly rotates underneath. Fuck Yea! |

Quoting: Kybeam 27604421 Where'd they get that ? What?! True! Its orbit is just fine. It ries to apogee and sinks to perigee. It is zooming along at 7+km/sec or about 5+mi/sec Check out its orbit and progress here: [link to n2yo.com] |
