NOAA 7 tumbling
Heavens-Above lists a new bit of debris from NOAA 7, which
has shed debris before. The new bit of debris (1981-059J) appears to be from a recent event, given its Spacecom number (28148). When I looked at NOAA 7 a short while ago it was flashing irregularly, although there was one definite peak every seven seconds. The peak was about magnitude 5; the satellite became too dim to see at times. --Bill Thompson |
