[sarex] STS-95 Nominal OMS-2 Orbital Data

["Kenneth J. Ernandes" <n2wwd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Below is the nominal OMS-2 State Vector and Keplerian Elements for 
STS-95.  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.

Note 99995 is a temporary catalog number.  Once STS-95 is launched, 
a permanent catalog number and international designator will be
assigned.

The following Keplerian elements were computed by VEC2TLE from this
vector, and the nominal launch time using a 0.1 drag multiplier:
