I tried to find the post where Skywise mentioned being in a group that
watches satellites, because I'd promised to post the link the article
I'd read about similar groups. I found that link, but now I can't find
the post. Sigh. It's a big universe.
Anyway, StrategyPage is where the article was and they reworked the
old one into a new article recently to cover the collision over Russia
this past Wednesday. It was ISON I was thinking of:
/There are lots of people keeping an eye on this clutter. The U.S. Air
Force Space Surveillance Network, which tracks nearly 18,000 objects
10mm and larger, stopped sharing all of its information five years
ago, for national security reasons. The Russian Space Surveillance
System is known to use radar to track over 5,000 objects in low orbit.
But the Russians have never shared this data completely, or regularly.
Filling in the gaps are two international organizations; IADC (Inter-
Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee) and ISON (International
Space Observation Network). IADC is a government operation, whose
members include the U.S. NASA, and the equivalents in Russia, China
and several other major nations. Like most government organizations,
not all data is shared.
ISON is a non-government organization, and they come up with some of
the most interesting stuff.../

first years of work, ISON data is analyzed at the Keldysh Institute of
Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences:

Here's ISON's full page in English, for anyone interested:

Babelfish Russian-English translator, which leaves a lot to the
imagination, but there are some terrific pictures):

detail." There's a lot of information in all the above links and I
haven't explored them in detail yet.
