  Those were already tracked by an amateur astronomer. What's your point? https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2024/05/the-nrol-146-payloads-observing-train.html https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2024/05/the-nrol-146-payloa...

    > Over the coming days and weeks they will disperse along their orbital plane, and likely also raise their orbital altitude. That's historic data

      Anyone who cares can find those satellites again using the same techniques. I guarantee the Chinese government knows their exact orbital parameters. There are no stealth satellites.

        But do the Houthis?
        • nradov 2y ago
          Probably. The Iranians certainly have the technical capability to detect those satellites, at least well enough to calculate the orbital parameters. So it would be safe to assume that they pass that intelligence on to the various terrorist groups that they sponsor.
