Randy John gave me the launch azimuth 205 degrees, and with simple
trigonometry the TRaJectory may look like:
0 34.73 -120.60 0
10 34.72 -120.60 1.3
20 34.72 -120.60 5.2
30 34.71 -120.61 11.5
40 34.69 -120.62 20.1
50 34.65 -120.64 30.9
60 34.59 -120.67 43.6
70 34.52 -120.72 57.8
80 34.42 -120.77 73.2
90 34.30 -120.84 89.4
100 34.15 -120.92 106
110 33.97 -121.02 122.5
120 33.77 -121.14 138.4
Randy asked how it was constructed - a simple Excel 5.0 spreadsheet,
which I mailed to him. But his return address (RJ@Rmatsc.Riem.Com)
has bounced before - I will also try rj@ms.riem.com which has worked.
