970xxA Delta, 16 Dec 97, 13:38 UT 1 90000U 970XXA 97350.74440178 .00636436 00000-0 81771-1 0 22 2 90000 86.5832 351.6223 0011476 233.9007 126.1152 14.78783918 35 This elset was generated using an early actual elset from the 9 Nov 97 launch (at 01:34:26 UT), and adjusting it to the new date and time with the program ADJ2LINE. Then I use ELEMAN to correct checksums and verify the path and position in-track using STSPLUS. There is a scheduled Long March launch of 2 Iridiums on 5 Dec 97. I may try to generate a prelaunch elset for that launch but am uncertain about the parking orbit altitude at this time. Regardless, the elset above should allow folks to check for early flares using your favorite flare prediction program. Ron Lee
