Hi all, Following yesterdays great launch it looks like I have a low elevation solar transit this afternoon just a few miles away. Quick question ,......does anyone know how much the orbit of Atlantis is likely to change in the next 12 hours ? Catching it on the disk is going to be pretty tricky using a small FOV....and the target is only 12 arc secs , so pinpoint accuracy will be required. BTW at http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/Atlantis_.wmv you can hear a few seconds of UHF downlink from the orbiter , which I fed live into my recording of NASA TV ( digital satellite feed ) First you hear the UHF call direct...which then pops up on NASA tv a second or so later.
