and Derek Slater (second from right) inspired their pupils, including Bob
Christy (third from left) to track satellites How school children exposed
Soviet secret

* BBC News* reports on the Kettering students who monitored Soviet
satellites and discovered a secret launch site

The Kettering Group consisted originally of staff and pupils at the
Kettering Grammar School (KGS) for Boys, Windmill Avenue, Kettering in
Northamptonshire. It was originally styled "The Kettering Grammar School
Satellite Tracking Group", among its members were young women from the
nearby Kettering High School for Girls.

The teachers involved were radio amateur *Derek Slater G3FOZ* and *Geoff
Perry*, who in the 1990's gave several presentations about the groups work
to the AMSAT-UK Colloquium. Geoff was fascinated by satellites and wanted
to use them to teach his pupils about the Doppler effect. This led to them
tracking a number of Soviet satellites and the discovery that the Soviets
had a previously unknown launch base in Plesetsk.
