[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite hit by debris from weapon test

[Stephen E. Belter]

Trevor,

Thank you so very much for monitoring multiple news sources and for
passing along information that is of interest to the amateur satellite
community.  I especially appreciate your finding and sharing your sources
that contain the technical details often omitted or misunderstood by the
popular press.

Keep up the good work!

73, Steve N9IP
