The pings, as I understand it, came an hour apart, and continued for 7-8 hours total. With just the pings themselves they were able to extract the distance from the sat, which is what led to those arcs they published last week. I dunno if doppler shifts from pings an hour apart add much to that.
- DrStalker 13y agoIf the doppler information can let you say "it was going south, not north" then you can halve the area to just one arc instead of two.
- waterlesscloud 13y agoOk, that makes some sense. Unlike their preliminary calculations, doppler could allow for direction. :-)
