GST on Feb 9 21:00 is 94.8092 degrees - on Nov 26 22:10 (for which Ted computed an orbit) was 38.4335 so assuming the ascent and target orbit remain unchanged I get RAAN=252.2893. 21:00 agree with his Nov.25 orbit, so the AOP, MA and decimals of the Epoch will be unchanged - : Falconsat 2 r 3.4 1.7 0.0 6.6 d 1 72050U 06040.87777778 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 05 2 72050 39.0000 252.2893 0073000 70.0000 305.0000 15.39500000 07 Using his Nov.25 orbit, GST was 19.9000 deg at launch, so this gives the same result. Add 0.25 to RAAN and 0.000694 to Epoch for each minute\s delay. > SpaceX plans to attempt launch of there falcon 1 rocket around 21: 00 > UTC( FEB 9) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
