* Astronomy

Hi All

New to this particular forum , but I thought that in my first post I would introduce a slightly different observation.

On July 26 Soyuz - 2   launched , thought to be carrying a new spy sat "Persona"

I have seen much speculation about what  Persona looks like......linking it to Arkon etc.

Well , the following may help throw some light on it  .


Three days after launch and while the payload , Object A , was still in its initial orbit I managed to image the satellite at a range of just over 200km.

I have posted the results at
http://satcom.website.orange.co.uk/       ....    just click the "Persona tab.

I have also put together an artist's impression of what the spacecraft probably
looks like , based on my observations.
