Hello everyone, There will be three maneuvers made by the Shuttle to raise the Station's orbit during the STS-108 mission. Here are the updated dates and times. They all should take place between approximately 12:30 and 13:30 UT on : Dec. 10, new orbit = 374 x 384 km Dec. 12, new orbit = 378 x 385 km Dec. 13, new orbit = 388 x 389 km The actual orbit is 370 x 383 km. Of course, after each maneuver one has to get the most recent TLE to obtain good pass predictions. To help, here are the NASA predicted TLEs valid after each maneuver : ISS reboost 1 1 26995U 01054A 01344.56666673 .00071000 00000-0 10050-3 0 9029 2 26995 51.6381 281.1993 0007546 75.0858 285.1135 15.62925325 741 ISS reboost 2 1 26995U 01054A 01346.61320072 .00071000 00000-0 10050-3 0 9049 2 26995 51.6388 270.8655 0005233 80.8142 279.3607 15.62110405 1069 ISS reboost 3 1 26995U 01054A 01347.57427469 .00071000 00000-0 10050-3 0 9054 2 26995 51.6395 266.0336 0000538 78.1694 281.9522 15.59647239 1213 Cheers, Dan -- Daniel Deak representant, projet spatial Starshine L'Avenir, Quebec COSPAR site 1747 : 45.7275°N, 72.3526°W, 191 m., UTC-5:00 Site en francais sur les satellites: French-language satellite web site : http://www.obsat.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
