That is, until Scott Tilley started looking for Zuma. “When I saw the radio signature, I ran a program called STRF to identify it,” he says. Developed by\u00a0Cees Bassa<\/a>, a professional astronomer at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, STRF treats Earth-orbiting satellites much like binary pulsars–deducing their orbital elements from the Doppler shifts of their radio signals. “The program immediately matched the orbit of the satellite I saw to IMAGE. It was that easy,” says Tilley.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And IMAGE<\/strong><\/em> was considered to be a dead satellite, having died in 2006 for unknown reasons. However, being solar powered, it’s come back to life.
