Каковы перигелий и афелий второй ступени Falcon Heavy с Теслой после вчерашней миссии?
Похоже, твит Маска был ошибочным, и афелий орбиты был бы ближе к 1,71 а.е., а не к 2,61 а.е. См . твит Джонатана Макдауэлла .
Это согласуется с проекцией орбиты, которая теперь показана в JPL Horizons :QR= 9.86...E-01 & AD= 1.711...

В заголовке поясняется, что источником данных является телеметрия самой 3-й ступени, полученная из ее GPS и других внутренних данных:
Revised: Feb 07, 2018 Tesla Roadster (spacecraft) -143205
Tesla Roadster (Starman, 2018-017A)
Dummy payload from first launch of SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch vehicle
consisting of a standard Tesla Roadster automobile and a spacesuit-wearing
mannequin nicknamed Starman.
Also includes a Hot Wheels toy model Roadster on the car's dash with a
mini-Starman inside. A data storage device placed inside the car contains
a copy of Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" novels. A plaque on the attachment
fitting between the Falcon Heavy upper stage and the Tesla is etched with
the names of more than 6,000 SpaceX employees.
After orbiting the Earth for 6 hours, a third-stage burn-to-depletion
was completed at approximately 02:30 UTC Feb 7, placing the dummy payload
in a heliocentric orbit having a perihelion of 0.99 au and aphelion
~1.7 au.
Payload mass: ~1250 Kg
This trajectory is a ballistic propagation derived from a post-injection
state provided by SpaceX on 2018-Feb-7, and is based on internal GPS data.
Prediction errors could increase significantly over time due to unmodeled
solar presure, thermal radiation, or outgassing accelerations that are not
characterized.
Launched: 2018-Feb-06 20:45 UTC by Falcon Heavy (FH) from Kennedy Space
Center, USA (launchpad 39A)
