Chinese Rocket Fails To Put Two Satellites Into Correct Orbits (spaceflightnow.com)
schwit1 writes: Tracking data suggests that two Earth-observation satellites launched today by China's Long March 2D rocket were placed in the wrong orbits. Spaceflight Now reports: "The two SuperView 1, or Gaojing 1, satellites are flying in egg-shaped orbits ranging from 133 miles (214 kilometers) to 325 miles (524 kilometers) in altitude at an inclination of 97.6 degrees. The satellites would likely re-enter Earth's atmosphere within months in such a low orbit, and it was unclear late Wednesday whether the craft had enough propellant to raise their altitudes. The high-resolution Earth-observing platforms were supposed to go into a near-circular orbit around 300 miles (500 kilometers) above the planet to begin their eight-year missions collecting imagery for Siwei Star Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp., a government-owned entity."
Trump Tweet: "Vladimir Putin said today about Hillary and Dems: "In my opinion, it is humiliating. One must be able to lose with dignity." So true!"
Trump's a traitor to his country. He cites Putin as his authority figure. So if you want to know what Trump will tweet, look at Putin's comments first and Trump's comment will be a "my boss is right" tweet.
Oh, did Trump put his companies in a blind trust and sell off the foreign ones? No? So he continues to shakes hands of people paying money into Trump co. And he's fully aware of the money flows because there's nothing blind about Trump co. Where's his Tweets gone on that?
And the missing interest payment that was paid out of a Panama trust fund (which could be Putin)? No tweet about that? Instead a diversion about the Iran deal?
