Did I see the Grace-FO satellites this weekend?Posted By Fred Lusk |
UPDATE — Well, it wasn't the Grace-FO satellites after all. I also posted this observation on CosmoQuest asking for the same help. Someone there recommended Heavens-Above, which is a website I had forgotten about because I hadn't used it in years.
It turns out that the Grace-FO passes on August 2/3 matched neither my time nor my field of view, and it wasn't even close.
I next did a search for "twin military satellites" and found several, including a slew of NOSS twins and triples. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to go through them all. It's also possible that I won't ever be able to figure it out because current military satellites (US, Russian, etc.) are not out there on the front page. At the very least, I can say that I was spying on two military satellites that were spying on me. :-)
