Brian, The only thing I got on a Titan-II launch was from the Lockheed/Martin website about an NOAA-L launch. It gives the following info, but I don't know how much you count on this being close to a DMSP launch. However, the inclination for the NOAA-L was 98.7, close to that needed for a sun-sync DMSP launch. The NOAA atlitude is also very close to the final DMSP altitude (14.148 Revs/day for DMSP -- 14.098 for NOAA-L) so the performance specs should be close. Stage 1 Shutdown -- T + 150.2 sec Stage1/2 Sep T + 151.2 Jettison Fairing T + 224.0 Stage 2 Payload Sep T + 391.0 That's all I have. No Lat, Long, altitude or the like. Per Brian's request, if anyone can supply additional information, I may be able to reconstruct a SKYMAP trajectory file (.trj) for this launch and make custom plots for other observer's locations.
