[edit] Summary

The original heavens-above image is .png. If you had saved this edited image as .png rather than as a lossy jpeg, the quality would have been preserved. Positions of multiple satellites are close enough to simulations to be representative. Did Chris Peat give permission for the image to be modified?

I was hoping you would allow me to use 2 images off of the Sirius-3 orbit data page to update information in a couple of wikipedia entries. http://www.heavens-above.com/orbitdisplay.asp?satid=26626 There is currently very little information on HEO orbits available, and this would great resource for people interested in earth orbits in general or specifically satellite radio orbits.

Hi John, Please go ahead. Chris

After permission was geven the images were modified by myself to show multiple satellites.
