Echo satellite sustains shape amid temp swings in space
Echo remained in stable form despite wide temperature variations and provided data on atmospheric resistance at its altitudes and effects of solar winds. It served as a passive communications relay for weeks with regular radio exchanges between Holmdel New Jersey and Stump Neck Maryland as signals bounced off the sphere. In its first year Echo supported 150 significant experiments, orbits average 1068 miles and 716 to 1,164 miles altitude, orbit period about 1 hour 48 minutes. Changes in orbit took it out of view in the Northern Hemisphere recently and it will reappear over North America before dawn this week, low on the southern horizon moving northeast, then visible in the Northern Hemisphere at dusk about three weeks later.
