Title: 2 new artificial satellites
Post by: RedWhiteArcher on January 15, 2002, 04:47:00 PM
2 pairs of EVA "Orlan" suit gloves, which Yury Onufienko and Carl Walz sent into free flight got registered by US space command as number 27166/ 1998 067N and 27167/ 1998 067P. I wonder how long the 2 new satellites will stay in space. :) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/urlenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ):)

Interesting - is the 1998 tag because of the launch date of the first ISS element?

I really don't know, that all that the article said. Maybe they are considered as a piece of the ISS so yes I think that is the launch date.

Oh Orstio can you please turn on your ICQ sometimes? How else can I use my close connection to the Emperor :) (http://www.ezboard.com/intl/urlenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ):)
