Sussex continues south

24 Jun 2013

From the wooded area north-east of the commune of Saint-Saëns on 20 June, Sussex has continued heading south. By the afternoon of 22 June, signals placed him 300km (190 miles) to the south-east, close to the commune of Saint-Étienne-en-Dévoluy in the Hautes-Alpes region in south-eastern France and to the Plateau de Bure interferometer, the most advanced facility existing today for radio astronomy. Poor quality signals indicate he may have continued further south another 40km (25 miles) towards the commune of Bayons and into the Provence- Alpes-Cote-d’Azur region, located in the south-east corner of the country.
