I'm sure James would appreciate any and all help with editing and preparing the report that anyone may wish to offer. We have so many active operators, many of which are retirees, that could pitch in with a few emails a week to help keep things on track.

Just received my weekly update on the satellite scene.

Read through and found.

1. A number of satellites proposed for launch that were in fact launched

last month. 2) Eagle : Proposed for launch 2009 3) P3E: Proposed for launch late 2008 4) Delfi C3 listing "proposed frequencies" when in fact it's been in space for nearly a year.

No doubt there are other errors but I gave up reading. Clearly there is a lot of copy and pasting going on here with no serious updating at all.

I know it is really important that information for the report comes from the mission controllers, but somewhere along the line a little common sense editing is appropriate if any degree of credibility is to be given to this service.
