Don't forget Heavens-Above, it allows you to select daylight and nightly "invisible" passes. At the moment though it predicts passes up to Apr 08 ! Example: http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=30796&lat=-6.16667&lng=106.8&loc=Jakarta&alt=1&tz=UCTm7 and select "all" ! 2013/4/5 Björn Gimle <bjorn.gimle@gmail.com>: > First, predictions posted are usually more accurate, around 15% of > remaining lifetime. This would be around +-8 hrs > Second, although the predicted decay may be close to you, a revised > decay time would probably end near the same part of the orbit, but the > Earth, and your location, would be at a different position, and the > decay might be 15000 km from you. > Third, it depends on your location - I used predicted TLEs from > www.calsky.com and found that using the last computed TLE made the > last pass only 12 min earlier than using the TLE from noon today. > > So, you need to run a prediction - for night,day or shadow, depending > on the decay time, and watch ALL possible passes. > > > > 2013/4/5 Sankaranarayanan K V <kvsankar@gmail.com>: >> Thank you, Kevin.
