I was only saying that satellites do not go out of control very often. When they do, there is often a problem with the satellite. It can also happen because of ground control problems. So when a sat goes spinning out of control, it is always a good idea to keep a close eye on it and see if a pattern develops. It may indicate a problem with the satellite itself. This is the first incident I have seen with PAS 8.......but I'll be watching!!! NEVER rely on Pan Am Sat to tell you the truth about the health of their sats. I have not found it fruitful to call and ask.
