* A flightpath 2 variant that was specially created
to cover specific targets in Norway at the expense of overflights
of other targets.
Photo capsule/ capsule acquisition
For satellites that require capsule retrieval (Yantar,
Odets, Shenzou-2, Badr-B) there is a one day retrieval period
with a 2% chance of losing the capsule on re-entry. Capsule satellites
may shoot a series of 20 shots per pass (giving you a spectrum
of oblique and overhead views) and can shoot 60 exposures, letting
you take a series of pictures at the same time of day on three
different days, allowing you to establish trends or changes to
the target.
