    Hi all,
    
    
    Although I watched most of last night's 61 deg pass naked eye , I did image 
    the much lower pass on the previous orbit (39 degs )
    
    http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/39deg.gif  ( range about 
    600 km )
    
    and noticed that the complex has not yet changed flight mode ready to 
    receive the orbiter.
    
    Does anyone know when this manouevre takes place ( logically I suppose it 
    doesnt happen until the shuttle is actually on the way up ! )
    
    Thanks ,
    
    John
