[amsat-bb] New RS sat?

[Paul Stoetzer]

1172km x 1506km, 82.49 degree inclination orbit for Kosmos 2504
according to this:
http://www.spaceflight101.com/rockot-launch-updates---3-gonets-2015.html

It would be wonderful if a transponder ever did get launched on one of
these satellites as they seem to go to nice high LEO orbits.

73,

Paul, N8HM
