Hi,

Following Kevin's message about the STS-120 TLE availability
http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Oct-2007/0165.html
I noticed that, as usual, the TLE for MECO is wrong. So here is my corrected
TLE based on the vector data and using VEC2TLE. It is good until 16:17 UTC
on Oct. 23 :
STS-120 MECO
1 00120U 07049A   07296.65888890  .01000000  00000-0  95600-4 0    17
2 00120  51.6359 161.5218 0132542 348.5845  69.1962 16.48690809    17

For those trying to see the shuttle on its first two orbits you'll have to
use :
STS-120 OMS-2
1 00120U          07296.71065133  .00014500  00000-0  95600-4 0  9010
2 00120  51.6364 161.2370 0050550 183.3910 176.6934 16.04650179    27

Happy observing !
