Based on Boern Gimbles data I should have a pass of the launched vehicle over my house reaching a maximum elevation of 45° in the north-east. Is there any chance (if the typical Central European cloud layer we have as always vanishes; I don't remember one clear night the last month!) to see the vehicle, especially when the engines are running? The position of the sun then is 25=B0 elevated above the western horizon. When launched towards the ISS, the STS (Space Shuttle) also often is over the horizon in Europe during its first orbit. Could the STS and other higher inclination orbit satellite launches be seen during daylight or while passing the earths shadow with running engines, or are these in operation over Europe at all? Thank you.
