Mark, Unfortunately, its altitude at this time is near 400 km and rising. When it rises at my location (also in So. Calif.) it is at 390 km and by the time it sets it will be up to 485 km. Perigee, and therefore decay, will occur in the southern hemisphere. The good news is that it will be sunlit during the pass you mentioned, so you should be able to watch it and check if it is on time, early, or late. molniya 3-26 .54 557 x 69 km 1 16112U 85091A 01053.09186341 4.57182040 16927+2 10184-2 0 90336 2 16112 62.4603 57.0183 0364985 264.5329 91.2937 15.86195119113477 Ralph McConahy 34.8829N 117.0064W 670m ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
