Analysis of the satellites most at risk of a collision with asteroid 2012 DA14 in February 2013. The risk of an impact with any satellite is extremely low, but if it does collide, it will be with one of these.
Captured with an Orion ST-80 piggyback on an LX200 classic in alt/az configuration. Tracked with NEOTraker. Images recorded with an SBIG ST-2000XCM.

SpaceX Falcon 9 with KPLO and ULA's Atlas V with SBIRS Geo-6 launched about 12 hours apart on 8-4-22. I tracked both launches using an 11" Celestron NexStar GPS telescope and my RocketTraker software. All channel members get free access to the latest versions of RocketTraker and SatTraker as compiled executables available for download on the community tab.
