Vol. XXII No. 1 Jan. 8,1992 Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 624-2801 Richard Heydinger, VP for External Relations Since 1988 And 1 \ l i \ : ; "\~ \ ;. ,' Vol. XXII No. 1 I Jan. 8,1992 Editor: Maureen Smith (612) 624-2801 i' _,,' I Richard Heydinger, VP for external relations since 1988 and a member of central administration for 14 years, I will resign June 30 to spend full time developing new models for higher education. "I am convinced that completely fresh approaches can result in some new models that can teach more effectively and do so at less cost," he said. President Hasselmo will appoint a search committee for Heydinger's replacement this week. II· "I've known Rick throughout his tenure at the University and have witnessed firsthand the contributions he has made in the University's vast endeavor to reshape itself as a force for the future," Hasselmo said. "I'm also grateful for Rick's ability to recognize talent in others. Because of that skill, he's leaving the University with a thriving team of professionals who are ensuring that the University lives up to its potential." Governor Arne Carlson's decision to recommend to the legislature the restoration of $23 million in previously I vetoed funds for 19 state specials at the U is "very welcome news," President Hasselmo said. Restoring the $23 million will now require legislative action, which may come as soon as this week. f f i State faces a $340 million deficit, and Carlson said he expects all 4 higher education systems and the state,s 424 school districts to share in next year's budget cuts. The U has agreed to discuss with the legislature "the possibility of folding some, but not all, legislative specials into the University's regular operations and maintenance budget to facilitate priority setting across all types of programs and funds," Hasselmo said. Jim Wacker. head football coach at Texas Christian U (TCU), was named Dec. 27 as Gopher football coach on I the TC campus. Regents' vote was unanimous. Wacker said he aims to take the Gophers to the Rose Bowl and will emphasize "academics and discipline that starts with character." All 23 TCU football players from the class of 1986 have now graduated. "Are we proud of that graduation rate? You bet we are," Wacker said. Financial package for Wacker includes a base salary of $125,000; a payment of $125,000 for media and personal appearances, football camps, and endorsements; and possible bonuses. None of the money will come from tax dollars or tuition; base salary will come from football revenue. President Hasselmo said the U is investing in the men's athletic program in order to keep it self-supporting. Financial impact of each 10,000 football fans in attendance is more than $1 million over a 6-game home season. Four finalists have been chosen for general counsel: Andrew lves, Jr., general counsel for the U of Arizona; Melany Stinson Newby, vice chancellor for legal and executive affairs at the U of Wisconsin-Madison; Mark Rotenberg, a partner in the Minneapolis-based firm of Dorsey & Whitney; and Stephen Veazie, legal counsel for the U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Walter Weyhmann. acting dean of the Graduate School, is chairing a Working Group on Graduate Assistant Fringe Benefit Rates and Tuition. Other members are Eugenia Davis, E. Wayne Drehmel, Cliff Fearing, Nick LaFontaine,]. Bruce Overmier, Tony Potami, Susan Rose, Irwin Rubenstein, Anne Sales, and J. Peter Zetterberg. First item of business is to advise VP Infante whether the U should accept the new charging principle for graduate student tuition remission (to become effective July 1, 1993) or to lobby to retain the current system. Members of the U community are invited to make their opinions known to a member of the working group. Decision must be reached in the next month. Clerical bar~ainin~ unit agreed to extend the termination and severance programs under the same criteria as the rest of the U (application up to 60 days after layoff notice; deadline of June 30, 1992, for termination of employment). In exchange, the union agreed to maintain the layoff procedures under the current civil service rules through June 30, 1992, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.

INTRODUCTION AND SUNiARY This semiannual status report describes activities conducted by the Principal Investigator during the first half of this third year of the NASA High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS) Investigator Working Group (IWG). As a (HRMS) Team Member with primary interest in the Sky Survey activity, this investigator attended IWG meetings at NASA/Ames and U.C. - Santa Cruz in April and August 1992, and has traveled independently to NRAO/KittPeak, Arizona (April Igg3) and Woodbury, Georgia (July 1993). During the July 1993 visit to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation/Woodbury Research Facility, an experiment was conducted to study the effects of interference from C-band (3.7 - 4.2 GHz) geostationary spacecraft on the Sky Survey operation in that band. At the first IWG meeting in April of this year, results of a SETI observation conducted at the 203 GHz positronium hyperfine resonance using the NRAO facility at Kitt Peak, AZ, were presented, as well as updates on the development of the spaceborne RFI data bases developed for the project.

Prepared by ESA Space Debris Office Reference GEN-DB-LOG-00270-OPS-SD Issue/Revision 21.0 Date of Issue 19 July 2019 Status Issued ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Limited Distribution ! Page 2/234 Classification of Geosynchronous objects. Issue Date 19 July 2019 Ref GEN-DB-LOG-00270-OPS-SD ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Limited Distribution ! Abstract This is a status report on (near) geosynchronous objects as of 1 January 2019. Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring is analysed. From 1578 objects for which orbital data are available (of which 14 are outdated, i.e. the last available state dates back to 180 or more days before the reference date), 529 are actively controlled, 831 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 195 are in a libration orbit and 21 are in a highly inclined orbit. For 2 object the status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 60 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 55 have not been catalogued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1638. Finally, there are 130 rocket bodies crossing GEO. If you detect any error or if you have any comment or question please contact: Stijn Lemmens European Space Agency European Space Operations Center Space Debris Office (OPS-GR) Robert-Bosch-Str.
