GLOBALSTAR, 6 Feb 2000, 21:26 UT Launch 1 99999P 0000XA 00038.66798723 -.00007082 00000-0 -33879-1 0 41 2 99999 52.0194 352.4931 0011062 270.1993 52.7943 13.92500000 95 Thanks to Dan Deak, the lower than usual orbit has been corrected in this elset. Without an ILAM, I had to get it close to the SECO 4 position taken from a coarse Earth map. This elset should be close enough if you scan cross track and allow a few minutes plus/minus. The SECO 4 burn occurs from 1:51:53 to 1:52:18 (HR:MIN:SEC) after launch. The launch window is 30 minutes long and if I read the data right, there are actually two launch windows. The other runs from 17:27 - 17:57 UT. The propellant/other liquid/gas dump should occur shortly (soon) after the end of the fourth burn. Shadow entry occurs around 23:23 UT which is about five minutes after the burn so there should be plenty of time to see it grow. If the launch is delayed XX minutes, look at the same az/el xx minutes after this elset predicts.
