    Looking at this ground track
    
    http://www.spaceflightnow.com/pegasus/sorce/030123track.html
    
    I'll take my last orbit I had, and go back to using my first mean anomaly 
    value of 129.
    
    So here's my final very very very approx orbit.
    
    SORCE
    1 27648U 04-004A  03025.84305556  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0 00005
    2 27648 040.0000 215.0000 0000000 000.0000 129.0000 14.75047655     7
    
    It appears to place the satellite somewhat near the orbital insertion point, 
    as shown on the groundtrack map when I used it in stk. Orbital insertion 
    happens at approx 8 min 46 seconds after launch. So that makes the orbital 
    insertion time approx
    20:22:46 UT
    
    Just under 18 hours to lauch:)
    I hope grey captures the part of the sunlit pass on video.
