JSR 752 is now permalinked at http://planet4589.org/space/jsr/back/news.752.txt
International Space Station
---------------------------
Expedition 56 continues with astronauts Feustel, Artem'ev, Arnold, Prokop'ev,
Aunon-Chancellor and Gerst.
Kosmos-2519/2521/2523: Addendum
---------------------
I forgot to include in last issue's analysis the total manuever capability demonstrated by
the three satellites:
Kosmos-2519 125 m/s
Kosmos-2521 204 m/s
Kosmos-2523 27 m/s
I should also have noted that Phillip Clark has presented his own excellent analysis of the mission
in an article in Spaceflight magazine (vol 60, p 30, June 2018) and I understand that
a sequel is in the works. n
