Have you looked at USA 81 (1992-023-A)? It's supposed to be the
same type of satellite as USA 32.


Not that I recall. I'm just a casual observer. Don't even
take notes.


But I see I have a favorable pass tonight culminating at
43 degree elevation as it enters shadow.


USA 81 just made a pass here at about 80 degree elevation.
It was visible to the naked eye and the sparkling was impossible
to miss.
