Paul and Harald, I assume that STS 110 will be already in the earth shadow before it climbs over our horizon just after launch. I verified this with following TLE emailed to SeeSat by Ted Molczan: 1 99999U 02094.95310089 .00025948 12201-4 18433-4 0 10 2 99999 51.6368 61.4230 0011454 285.1487 252.4856 16.17009401 03 in fact for my own location. And yes my assumption was confirmed.
