According to an 'inside source' at NASA, the next STS water dump is scheduled for Mission Elapsed Time 5d 18h 13m. This works out to be August 13, at 08:54 UTC. Hoping that somebody would be able to see it, I checked with STS Plus and saw that if it occurs on schedule, STS-85 will be in darkness west of Chile, heading NE. It will reach sunlight over Central South America around 09:06 UTC, only 12 minutes or so after the dump is scheduled to start. Are there any Seesat observers in the steaming Amazon jungle? :-) About half an orbit later, parts of Australia might be able to see remnants of the dump at around 10:00 UTC, but I'm not sure how long the event is visible after it has been initiated. Please, don't charter a Concorde based on these predictions. :-) Remember, the last time I posted a scheduled dump, NASA performed it some 12 hours earlier than originally planned.
