SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-70.007 STS-70 Western R/S Times 07/17 Below are the rise and set times for STS-70 for selected US 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 Users are reminded that these prediction bulletins are generated to assist new hams and others who have no prior experience tracking space shuttle missions. Anyone seriously interested in space shuttle missions is encouraged to obtain their own tracking software. Many different programs are available over the internet, or by calling Amsat headquarters at 301-589-6062.
