[amsat-bb] "CHORDS" and "Tiangong-1 " Predictions.

[gw1fky at aol.com]

Hi all,
I have been following on the "Amsat-bbs" the various messages and information regarding the predictions on the Re- entry of "Tiangong -1"
Of course the re-entry transpired in the ball part as predicted at approx. 00.15 hrs GMT.
Many will be aware of the work carried out by " CHORDS " but perhaps many have never even  heard of the organisation and its work.
They are greatly involved with the work and tracking of "Space Debri" and the concerns.
Tiangong -1 with co-ordination from a number of parties was fitted with an "REBR Probe" -  It  logged an sent various data from the spacecraft
to enhance its locations for predictions.
I understand that further work and developments of the probe have also been made recently so many may find this topic of interest.
