Reminds me of their EGP (Experimental Geodetic Payload). Launched several years ago, it's a 2 meter diameter sphere covered with mirrors (think large disco ball). Early on it looked like a diamond twinkling across the sky even naked eye. It's still up there but the mirrors don't appear to be reflecting as much light so now binoculars are needed to see it. patrick On 04 Feb 2013, at 06:47, D P Pierce wrote:
