    Hi Ted and list,
    
    Thanks for your Excel file !
    In ideal conditions I should be able to see the shuttle because it rises
    about 3,5 degrees above my southeastern horizon. But I still have to get
    these conditions... Maybe one day...
    
    I have recalculated the wrong TLE given by NASA after MECO using VEC2TLE :
    
    STS-120 MECO
    1 99122U 07-059A   7340.90430556  .01000000  79091-3  95600-4 0    19
    2 99122  51.6375 293.4765 0132604 349.4976  68.2952 16.48198346    19

    Objet : Shuttle Ascent to ISS Trajectory Spreadsheet
    
    I have produced an MS Excel spreadsheet to compute azimuth, elevation, R.A.
    and Dec, during space shuttle ascents on missions to ISS:
