Looks like you may have one more chance. Both landing opportunities
waived off today. Thus viewing tomorrow available. There are 5 landing
opps Sunday the first to KSC at 1200 UTC (subsequent ones to EDW at 1329
UTC, KSC at 1337 UTC). This improves viewing for re-entry over the US I
believe. The trajectory (for the !st opp.) is described at

ftp://ftp.physics.ox.ac.uk/pub/sat/info/sts76-reentry.txt

where I'll put ground track maps when they are available.

The payload doors were just proving a little problematic during
re-opening but they appear to be fine at this time.
