31 Satellites on July 31

Well, it has been a long time, but I have finally managed to get clear skies just in time for the end of the month of July.

CASTOR got another 31 satellites, mainly mid Earth orbit, but a few GEOs on July 31st, bringing its grand total to 2,684 satellites.

CASTOR has detected 631 satellites since the beginning of the IYA. It has another 369 to go before reaching its 1,000 satellite goal!

In the month of July, CASTOR got a total of 108 new satellites; a little on the low side, but with only 7 days of decent weather this month, it is a good haul.

I hope August is much better though!
