    I used the info off spaceflightnow.
    
    http://www.spaceflightnow.com/tracking/index.html
    
    It says a luach window of 2010-2108 GMT.
    
    So being the nutball I am:)
    
    I assumed the rocket would be dropped from the aircraft at 20:10 UT, and 5 
    seconds later the rocket fires sending the rocket/satellite on it's way to 
    orbit.
    
    So I used the 20:10 UT as the orbit epoch, and fooled around with the values 
    in stk, until I got my very very very approx orbit.
    
    But I have no clue to what I am doing so don't trust the orbit to much.
    
    I was just trying to have some fun, ok:)
    
    It's -18 degrees celsius outside right now, not the nicest weather for sat 
    observing, so I had to find someting to pass the time on, until the Coriolis 
    satellite pass by this moring.

    To get RAAN, you also need the drop time or similar. Where/what did you find
