We almost missed it. Very faint but right on time. Cosmos 1143 Rocket flew nearly directly overhead last night at 9pm. This is a rocket body that is just orbiting aimlessly. The satellite is Tselina-D. Russian. One website shows a decay date of Feb 17th, 2002, but it’s still up there. It was launched in 1979. More to come tonight, hopefully.
