[amsat-bb] ISS orbit - was: SATPC32 ISS Showing weird operation

[Graham Shirville]

Hi All,

This page refers to a major orbit boost planned for sometime after June? 
using the ATV as a big thruster

No doubt this will seriously change the TLEs!

It will improve the footprint/pass durations  but reduce the visual 
brightness I suppose.

Something to look forward to!

cheers

Graham
