Let's hope one of us can get clear skys and post a picture !
STS-82 PLANNED ENTRY SIGHTINGS
STS-82 Entry sighting data --- Revision B, 19-Feb-97
Launch: 11-Feb-1997 08:55:16.981
UTC
Note: These times and elevations are at the point of closest approach
(peak elevation) for each city. ELSUN is the Sun's elevation for
that city at that time. BOOM is the estimated length of time
(MIN:SEC) after closest approach when the sonic boom may be
heard.
However, it is unlikely that the boom can be heard if peak
elevation is less than about 20 deg. Plasma trail visibility is
best with sun elevations less than approximately -10 deg.
