Yes! I would love to watch the Nozomi (Planet-B) flyby. Can somebody get a state vector for it? Here is a link to ISAS. http://www.isas.ac.jp/index-e.html Here is a Planet-B link (in Japanese and English). http://www.planet-b.isas.ac.jp/ This link has a chart showing the orbit. Currently it has undergone one lunar swingby and will perform another on Dec. 18. There should be a burn sometime after the earth swingby. The chart is at: http://www.planet-b.isas.ac.jp/image/kido-E.JPG Randy -----Original Message----- Is there anybody out there, who could please calculate the visibility of the Swingby of the Japanese Marsprobe NOZOMI on December 20th?!?!
