Hello,
Given the recent close conjunction between Compass-1 and Sich 1, I was curious how common such encounters were. Using SOCRATES on the celestrak site, http://celestrak.com/SOCRATES/, it looks like they are fairly common.
Here are some up coming conjunctions:
Objects Date Time UTC Distance KM
AO-51 (28375) & Cosmos 676 (07433) 27 Jan. 2010 09:05:36 1.93
Hope-1 (36122) & Cosmos 272 (03818) 30 Jan. 2010 15:07:21 0.511
Hamsat (28650) & TIROS 8 Deb. (19396) 1 Feb. 2010 01:26:28 0.926
