ISS and a mystery satellite…..

ISS and mystery satellite

Watched and imaged this nice ISS pass from 7:53:50 to about 7:54:45 p.m. Mountain time. The ISS flew through Leo Minor,( the streak on the right) and the “mystery” satellite which was as bright as the ISS at times, passed from east to west through the bowl stars of The Big Dipper (streak on the left) . Any ideas? Date was March 15. Viewing spot in Tijeras, New Mexico. About 25 miles east of Albuquerque. I looked on Heavens-above and didn’t find any candidates. Help.

Update: Satellite watching guru Ted Molczan has notified me this was  the RESURS 1-4.     I hope to keep an eye on it now!
