Re: [amsat-bb] BIG ISS and Shuttle reflection

Could it have been the moon?
The moon can easily give a more than 1 minute return.

Hi All,

I've posted a picture of the ISS/Shuttle crossing the NAVSPASUR fence 
yesterday afternoon. You can  see the Lake Jordan and possible the Lake 
Kickapoo transmitter. The one amazing fact is that I was able to see the ISS 
for about 1 minute on the Lake Jordan transmitter. I did not expect it to 
last that long. The calculated transit was within 0.25 seconds from what 
NOVA predicte. I used azimuths of 91.4* for Lake Kickapoo and 98.1* for Lake 
Jordan. The I/Q file centered at 216.985 and 50 KHz wide and can be 
downloaded here:

You can also download a version of SpectraVue that will display it from 
here:

There is also a small screenshot of the transist here:
