 		Hi all.
Link2

Does anyone have access to the tracking information for this, as I want to see if it is visible on its pass over the Channel Islands.
Apparently it could be up to visible brightness but its hard to tell at this stage.

thanks!

 		can we tell if they put up something useful, or just a bowling ball? do the talking heads on the TV, know for sure its up?

i wonder if some amature radio person can make a signal intercept, even if its encrypted, a la Sputnik?

 		“Radio enthusiasts hoping to listen to catch the sounds from the satellite can tune into 479MHz. North Korean officials say they will play music continuously on that frequency.”

unfortunately too high a frequency for my radio gear to receive.

 		It is in an unstable erratic trajectory, and may collide with satellites.

Likely a bowling ball... since international treaties have banned the regime from weapons testing.

 		better still, in all of year 2012, the north spent 1bill$ plus on rockets. 1 bill$ is more than needed to feed every north korean for one year.

i dont think tyrancies care what the international law says, they do what they want, and why shouldnty they? the UN is corrupt to the core.

moving off the gloomy side, what this also means is that in a few decades first-world universities will be able to orbit simple satelites.

 		Universities can orbit satellites already. There's a platform called "Cubesat" that gets stuffed into empty spaces on commercial launches.

 		You can try HeavensAbove. They generally have all the observing data necessary to view and track satellites. Not sure if they'll have a N. Korean one, but they just might.

 		Patrick, multiple Universities re-researching every aspect of satellite launching would be wasting a lot of resources, specialisation & sharing is better.
