    about the HETE-2 launch.
    Prompted by a slightly earlier NASA press release about the project
    an investigation of the HETE web page reveals that the intended orbit
    is 650Km circular inclination 0-2 degrees. Even radio visiblity
    is confined to 15 degrees either side of the equator. I suspect
    only a few Seesat-L members will have a chance of visual observing it.
