    Hi everyone
    I got an image of the ISS on Sunday morning, which showed it to be flying
    in -XPOP mode. This was not quite what I expected since the sun angle was
    low enough for it to be in XVV. The current rules I have are XVV if sun
    angle (beta) is less than 37 degrees. ISS passed this value (decreasing) on
    January 2nd. Does anyone know if the rules have been altered or whether they
    are just a bit late in implementing the change.
    
    Thanks
    Phil
