Satellites and gravity

[Blue_in_london]

This satelite business is a piece of cake - mine's been going 1 hour 11 minutes - started at 9.36.

Should I contact NASA? Should I leave my job and become a scientist?

Well, since I posted last, my wifes satellite is still in orbit. Seven and a half hours so far!

Seven and a half hours -that's impressive!

I'll feel sad when I terminate mine to go home!!


No wait...I mean I am sad!!

I find it infuriating! I spend ages making tiny corrections to my satellites to try and obtain a good orbit and could only manage 10 minutes. She comes along and not only has this one going for 10 hours, but it reversed orbit from CCW to CW as well!

I forgot about it & checked about 2 hours later & it was still going, just checked again & it's gone, scarily accurate that

Houston we have a problem!

I suspect sabotage!!!!

 

[DENNIS STEVENS]

strange that they never seem to collide

I suck at this.

All of mine end up like Skylab.

Absolutely rediculous game.


(Of course if I was any good at it, I would like it)

Bump.

Let the new generation get some satellites orbiting.

Bump for a quick fix of satellite orbital madness
