AMSAT NEWS SERVICE BULLETIN 353.01 FROM AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD, DECEMBER 18, 2000 TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-353.01

AMSAT-DL and AMSAT-NA forwarded ANS the following AO-40 information:

NORAD has found AO-40 to be in one piece.

The radar cross section was as expected with no other pieces found nearby. This should end speculation of an explosion as NORAD found only one object with a radar cross section that was consistent with a satellite the size of AO-40.

The command station team is continuing recovery operations.

AMSAT-NA's N2WWD provided ANS the following preliminary Keplerian elements based on a single radar pass. More accurate orbital elements should follow from NORAD in the near future -- following a second radar pass that should provide time and geometric distribution of the tracking data.
