Hi all, Here is the predicted TLE for the shuttle Endeavour after its OMS-2 firing scheduled at 19:25 UT on the 19, as supplied by Kenneth J. Ernandes : STS-100 1 90100U 1109.81199986 .00336392 46811-6 73822-4 0 14 2 90100 51.5684 23.3525 0126945 11.8500 200.9847 16.11764961 16 Following this, there will be 5 burns leading up to the docking scheduled at 13:28 UT on the 21st. Here is a list of these maneuvers taken from the wonderful flight plan supplied by Bill Harwood of Spaceflight Now that can be found at http://spaceflightnow.com/station/stage6a/fdf/100plan.html All times are UT. NC 1 19 at 22:35 NC 2 20 at 10:31 NC 3 20 at 21:04 NC 4 21 at 09:54 TI 21 at 11:26 At least one ISS reboost maneuver is scheduled on the 28th at 10:11 UT. From here in Quebec, the ISS will be visible in the evenings up to April 23. So we will be able to watch Endeavour closing in on Alpha. On a side note, I've just finished working on the last batch of parts for the Starshine 3 satellite due to be launched on August 31. In all, the students and teachers of our school made 107 parts for the satellite including all the solar cell supports that will take the place of some mirrors. The time is now near when I will be back to binocular positional observation !
