SPACEWARN Bulletin Number 507

C. Spacecraft Particularly Suited for International Participation: Category I

Spacecraft with essentially continuous radio beacons on frequencies less than 150 MHz, or higher frequencies if especially suited for ionospheric or geodetic studies.(NNSS denotes U.S. Navy Navigational Satellite System; an asterisk [*] indicates updated/new information since the last issue.) Updates or corrections to the list are possible only with information from the user community.

Note: This section has not received any user input/updates for a year. The content remains the same as in SPX 504. The section will be revived from time to time when a significant volume of updates would be available from the user community.

However, Geoff E. Perry, MBE, of the Kettering Group in Cornwall, England, has kindly provided the following additions and revisions to the list in SPX-504.
