    I so far get the result, that the ATV won't be in sunlight, duing seperation of it from the upper
    stage.
    
    Before sunrise on Feb 22, the ATV will make a good elevation pass for new zealand and australia.
    
    This assumes it launches on Feb 22, a planned launch date for it. That could have changed. 
    
    It don't look good, for me to see it.
    
    Don't take my word, I could be wrong.
    
    Been keeping an eye on this upcoming launch.
