    So here's a project I've been working on off and on for a while. I'm trying to keep a (somewhat) updated world map of every former Metro/RBNY player who is still playing professionally. Currently goes back to the 2011 season.

    Is this an alternate spelling, or just a typo in the Digital Globe/Maxar SecureWatch datasheet?

    Based on the most recent observations from , USA-245 made a maneuver (almost certainly on Feb 3) to push off the closest approach for another couple weeks to Feb 20. For the moment, USA-245 seems content to make small maneuvers to keep Cosmos 2542 at a distance.

    I drive long distances pretty frequently and think about things like this a lot.

    Old school political types love caucuses because they're folksy and nostalgic in a kind of Schoolhouse Rock form of democracy. They also happen to be really stupid.

    Honestly a red SLS that says Olay on it probably has a better chance of flying than whatever Boeing is making.

    Latest TLEs now have it 131km above the GEO belt. It's taking a lot of small burns to get there, which is maybe on purpose to burn off as much fuel as possible before getting there.

    Cosmos 2542 made another maneuver on January 31st and is now drifting back towards USA 245. Closest approach is currently set for February 7-10.

    Russian Meridian military communication satellite constellation monitoring continues. More operational info has been gleaned from long term monitoring of the transponders on ~484MHz. As you can see from this animated GIF there's a lot going on here. [thread]

    In the open source community, we'll all be keeping our eyes on USA 245, Cosmos 2542, and (but wait, there's more) Cosmos 2543, a small subsatellite that was deployed earlier in the mission.

    The orbits are still similar enough that they'll be in view of each other for at least a month, but at a much greater distance. Unless, of course, we see more maneuvers. A plot of the projected range through Feb is below.
