SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-67.030 STS-67 World R/S Times 03/16 Below are the rise and set times for STS-67 for selected worldwide cities over the next four days. This data was generated to help hams without orbit programs to participate in the SAREX activities. Please note that the times shown are UTC and NOT LOCAL TIME. This listing includes only those passes with an elevation greater than 5 degrees. For information regarding SAREX frequencies and operations procedures, check your local PBBS, or bulletins from W1AW, W5RRR, W6VIO or WA3NAN. Symbol key: rise = time that shuttle appears above horizon tca = time of closest approach to observer set = time that shuttle disappears below horizon el = maximium elevation above horizon geo = geometry: A = Ascending orbit, moving south to north D = Descending orbit, moving north to south E = passes east of observer W = passes west of observer Element Set Astro-003 was created onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour by the crew. Landing is currently scheduled to occur on Friday, March 17, at 19:54 UTC on orbit 246. Predictions for orbits later than this are provided in the event that the mission may be extended due to poor weather at the Kennedy Space Center. In case of mission extension, the extra days may provide prime opportunities for amateur radio contacts since the primary science payload will be stowed for landing on those days. Note to international users: London and Paris will be removed from the predictions list for future shuttle missions in 28 degree orbits, since they are both too far north to have visible passes. Suggestions are welcome for possible cities to replace them, please provide lattitude, longitude, and height above sea level and send to n8fgv@amsat.org. We will continue to provide predictions for London and Paris for higher inclination missions when the shuttle is visible from higher lattitudes.
