Good Morning: Here is a question for those of you who are skilled at calculating launch times. What would be the time for a launch based on the following set of parameters? Launch Site: California central coast Date: 2009 October 6 Launch Vehicle: Delta II with 9 solid fuel strap-on motors Payload: Commercial imaging satellite Orbital Altitude: 770 km Orbit Type: Sun synchronous Ascending Node: 10:30 a.m. Orbital Period: 100 minutes A Delta II with 9 solid fuel motors can create an impressive visual display depending on the launch time. I am curious whether we will have a nice light show. For example: http://www.spacearchive.info/delta-ii-iridium-ms-5.htm http://www.spacearchive.info/delta-ii-cosmo-3.htm Thanks in advance.
