SATORAMA

Our observing programme can be found in the 'Recent Observations' section.  
It is subdivided in categories, the codes of which can be found below.

b       flashing object for beginners
d       difficult to measure
S       steady object, potentially flashing in the future
?       flash period is unknown or uncertain
-       long flash period (>40 s)
!       top-priority object
	regular object

Special remarks                                         Top-priority objects
								
71- 86J: steady                                         65- 08A: probably accelerating
73- 37J: also steady                                    70-106B: to be observed, URGENTLY !
75- 16J: no change, steady                              79- 30B: going up again
81- 59B: secundary maxima, nice object                  81- 53B: accelerated according to LB ?
81- 84B: long period now                                82- 66B: last observation hp ?
82- 40J: normal object now                              83- 21B: acceleration halted ?
82- 69B: long period                                    84-109B: slowly rising again ?
83- 42B: hp ?                                           85- 23J: still Top Priority - real period ?
83-108B: period is still measureable !                  85-116B: sudden acceleration ?  to be confirmed
84- 03B: acceleration halted, normal object now         86- 92J: look out for smaller accelerations !
84- 43B: deleted, no acceleration and steady            87- 06B: flasher discovered by BD, accelerating
84-109B: slowly going up again                          87- 98B: accelerating ?
86- 37B: dtm because of sm ?                            89- 28B: dtm ?
87- 49B: almost steady                                  90- 36B: some secundary maxima
88- 53B: no acceleration, steady and deleted            91- 59B: sm
89- 59B: deleted because steady                         91- 81B: going down ?
91- 06B: deleted, steady                                92- 20B: also going down ?  to be confirmed
91- 07B: almost S                                       92- 36B: to be watched closely
91- 42B: deleted, last flashing obs is probably 91-42A  92- 73B: accelerated
92- 70D: dtm, more observations needed
94- 24B: flashes confirmed
94- 27B: ASLV SROSS C2: flashing !
94- 29A: as expected, S->deleted
94- 29B: Pegasus rocket: flashing !
94- 41B: probably flashing

Total number of observations: 325
Next deadline for sending in observations: september 8, 1994

Just before sending 'Satorama' to Bart for publication in 'Flash', I quickly added some more 
satellites to the programme.  Those satellites are: 71-87A, 72-3B, 88-102A(Elint !), 90-81K a
nd last but not least 92-53B which may be accelerating according to Mike McCants.  
Next month, they will get a special remark in SATORAMA.
