Transcript
Okay, copy. In this view I'm looking up toward the satellite now, the satellite. Almost one mile distant from Columbia. Just coming through very clearly. Okay, you can see, I know you can see, but right at the top, towards the satellite there, there's a small bow in the tenor, and that kind of started with the end lines went off. And it's just a little bit of attention there, but it's still working pretty stable. Copy. Again, nine tenths of a mile separate the satellite and Columbia at this point. Satellite to moving away from Columbia at almost a three miles per hour to a nine tenths miles per hour.
