It's only of historical interest now but I find this data rather puzzling. Presumably the injection lat/long is the position of the end of the OMS-2 circularization burn. Surely, at the injection time quoted (07:55Z, which would have been about 0:45MET), roughly half an orbit after launch, STS-98 would have been over the Indian ocean at about 12°S but more like 75°E. Is the "327.19E" above a typo or have I misunderstood something? Illumination requested...
