To the best of my knowledge, the best places to look for elsets for shuttle missions are: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSOP/orbit/ISS/SVPOST.html http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSOP/orbit/SHUTTLE/SVPOST.html http://oig1.gsfc.nasa.gov/scripts/foxweb.exe/app01? and for less thoroughly obsessive needs: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/tle/iss.tle http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/tle/sts.tle I would appreciate knowing about any resources you consider better and your reasons. But where is the best place to look for the times of upcoming maneuvers, especially dockings and undockings? Please enlighten me. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/spacenews/reports/sts97/STS-97-03.html reports: > No problems were reported aboard Endeavour as the shuttle sails toward > a docking with the ISS at 1:59 p.m. Central time Saturday. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSOP/orbit/SHUTTLE/SVPOST.html lists: > 337/18:59:37.877 1.5 1.0 1.5 > 001/15:53:36.927 -0.0 0.0 204.5 > 000/00:00:06.672 -0.1 1.1 200.8 Can these refer to the same maneuver? Is there a 1 hour discrepancy? Isn't the defect for CST -6 hours? If they do refer to the same event, then what clues can one use to identify such an event in the list provided at http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSOP/orbit/SHUTTLE/SVPOST.html ? Thanks for any assistance. If you do have a shot at ISS in the near future, don't forget to look for the detached Progress cargo tug. And please report what you see. Cheers.
