Dr Einstein User ID: 29369511 United States 12/12/2012 10:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | well, i just did the arithmetic, and the satellite Quoting: Dr Einstein presently has enough altitude and speed to stay in orbit for a long long time post your work! oops. wrong numbers right now its at 500 km altitude and only 4 km per second. that's only half the speed needed to stay in orbit. that puppy is coming down.

With orbital mechanics, the apogee (high point in the orbit) is the slowest "groundspeed" It will accellerate it's groundspeed as it goes towards perigee (the orbital low point). How have they determined that it's "tumbling out of control"? I'm guessing just getting something upo there was enough, likely it doesn't even have attitude control (aka many early US satellites). |

It's not even that much off of a circularized orbit. It's funny watching every now and then someone say "its losing altitude!". What is also funny is seeing GLP break the tracking site. It must have been doing some kind of weird loop thing because I looked at it a little bit ago and it was on the same track that I saw 3 hours ago. Fuck Yea! |

She just surpassed 512 km above the earth.

If shooting it down is a provocation, versus, the fact we let them provoke the US, by not stopping the launch or thereafter. You know..."If we do this, then they will do that"...so on, and so on! |

She just surpassed 512 km above the earth. its always losing altitude when flying over asia (about 315mi) and then going up when over america(about 365mi) its been like this for hours...

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24513446 United States 12/12/2012 11:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | About a half hour ago 2 F-15E's scrambled from Barnes Air Force Base in Westfield, MA heading due east with burners on. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6485742 Heard them also I'm in Springfield. Something is up I've never heard them this late before in my life. They may well be going somewhere quick, but not towards the satellite if heading east. Wouldn't make since with the position and speed of object now. The thin is travelling at roughly 17,000 MPH, and won't intersect the US again for quite a while. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29412599 United States 12/12/2012 11:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe this is the reason they sent the space plane up. They probably knew the trajectory was going to be off with the orbit of the satellite. They probably sent the plane up to either destroy it, save it, watch it or a combination of all of the above. It will be interesting to see if we ever know what happens to the satellite unless it burns up on entry.

As predicted by Edgar Cayce...a war in space |
