Hi All, With the imminent reentry of Mir in a little over three days, I thought I'd see which lucky places on earth would be among the last to see a sunlit, nighttime pass. If the ~6 UT reentry on Friday, March 23 is to be believed, then here are some locations that will see Mir within 24 hours of reentry: Auckland, New Zealand: 7:44 UT 3/22 Canberra, Australia: 9:12 UT U.S. Virgin Islands: 9:50 UT Perth, Australia: 10:39 UT Managua, Nicaragua: 11:18 UT Mazatlan, Mexico: 12:49 UT Hilo, Hawaii: 15:45 UT Johannesburg, S. Africa: 16:33 UT Manila, Philippines: 21:40 UT Buenos Aires, Argentina: 22:30 UT Montevideo, Uruguay: 22:30 UT Bangkok, Thailand: 23:09 UT Bombay, India: 0:38 UT 3/23 Delhi, India: 0:40 UT Central Oman: 2:08 UT Cairo, Egypt: 3:38 UT These times are based on relatively recent elsets, but do not take into consideration the effects of the small engine burns prior to the final reentry burn.
