Hi, Compass 1 survived its close conjuction with Sich 1.
Compass 1 CW beacon was copied at AOS right on time.
It was interesting to watch the encounter via tracking program. Closing velocities of 15,000 meters/second or 34,000 MPH.

Armondo,
Heard it here as well. At those closing speeds, it would not have been a fender bender.
