I updated the STS-90 Keplerian elements because of today's
launch scrub. The elements below represent the new estimated
launch time.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Below is the nominal State Vector and Keplerian Elements for
STS-90. The vector data comes from NASA; the Keplerian Elements
were computed from the vector.
This file may be read by VEC2TLE version 9648 to update your
Keplerian Elements text file.

The following Keplerian elements were computed by VEC2TLE from this
vector, using a 0.1 drag multiplier:
