I didn't keep Ed's TLE, since 51 deg is difficult at my latitude, and ISS orbit "impossible" right now. Did he give predicted future elsets? Right now, last 5 elsets from OIG start: ISS (ZARYA) 1 25544U 98067A 03161.19453943 .00016937 00000-0 21621-3 0 1015 2 25544 51.6330 55.3767 0006612 234.8836 263.1097 15.59373879259913 and: PROGRESS M1-10 1 27823U 03025A 03161.21778569 .00071333 00000-0 26443-3 0 134 2 27823 51.6332 55.5129 0006943 304.0056 206.3883 15.87406827 289 So the perigee of ISS 385 km, and the apogee of Progress is 314 km, ie. not in transfer orbit yet, and distance is "meaningless" - becomes 0 in the horizontal direction Wednesday 09:13 UTC. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
