    I have an Excel Spreadsheet with data and graphs depicting typical Shuttle
    Reentry profiles (Altitude, Distance, Time from Main Gear Touchdown and
    Speed) that I compiled from NASA-Select tapes for STS-73,72,75 and 77 back
    in 1995/96 for anyone who wants one.  It can answer many of the questions
    posted here on SeeSat.  Two of the reentries were videotaped by myself from
    Northern California (shuttle's inclination 39 degrees) and the data proved
    to be very accurate.
    
    Unfortunately, I do not yet have a website to post the file, so I'll have to
    send it as an attachment.  Size is only 34K.
    Please make requests to my WORK E-mail address at:   rick.baldridge@wj.com
    It's faster than my home account.
    
    I also wrote a 4-page article about Shuttle reentries for a local astronomy
    club which I can also make available.  However, the 2 files are almost 1Meg
    each (due to the imbedded pictures and graphs).
