GEIPAN annex computing whether Cosmos 1151 Rocket could account for phase 1 of a white-point sighting over Rixheim on 26 July 2009.
This is Annexe 04 to GEIPAN case 2009-07-02361, a satellite-correlation worksheet by G. Munsch (IPN/GEIPAN) for an observation at Rixheim (68170) on Sunday 26 July 2009 around 23h45 local time. The annex pulls orbital and visibility data for Cosmos 1151 Rocket (USSPACECOM 11672, International Designator 1980-005 B) from calsky.com and heavens-above.com to test whether that rocket body could explain phase 1 of the phenomenon. The transit window runs from 23h44m54s (shadow exit, magnitude 4.1) through 23h46m12s (peak at magnitude 3.9, altitude 56.10°) to 23h52m43s when it sets on the horizon. The note flags that magnitudes between +4.1 and +3.9 leave the object at low luminosity, consistent with the witness assimilating phase 1 to a satellite pass.
