ARISSAT-1 nears the end

ARISSat-1 the satellite that has given me some pleasure over the last few months is approaching it's fiery death, it looks like it might make it to the New Year just. http://www.southgatearc.org/news/december2011/arissat1_decay_date.htm


It is a real pity that at the moment the orbit mean I have no chance of capturing anything from it before it's demise. All the passes over the UK are when in shadow and due to the battery failure it is silent.

Thanks ARISSat-1 you have been fun.
