[amsat-bb] Re: VO-52 Update

[Mani VU2WMY]

Hi Domenico,
I'm aware of the difference in the orbit numbers between us and  
ISTRAC. In fact the orbit number mentioned by Mr. Parimalarangan is  
for our internal reference, which I should have deleted.

You are right, the orbit number is 37095 which we follow. There shall  
be no doubt about the date and time, as it is correct and it is March  
14th & 14:00 UT.

Thanks for pointing that difference and I appreciate your keen  
observation. I update the kep elements all most every day and thanks  
for posting the latest keps.
