On Aug 3 starting at 22:57 UT, a boeing delta 4 rocket will carry the DSCS 3 B6 geo sat into orbit. Assuming the path of the rocket is the same as the last DSCS satellite lauch, I made up an approx orbit for the satellite on it's first ascending node orbit. I used this a a rough guide http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/space/delta/delta4/dscs_iii_a3/book12.html Plus http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/space/delta/delta4/dscs_iii_a3/book11.html To get the following very very very approx orbit DSCS 3 B6 1 99999U 03000A 03216.19737269 .00000010 00000-0 00000-0 0 00011 2 99999 025.5000 106.4910 7275492 178.9000 184.8049 02.29589923000014 Now to wait for mission info, to correct for errors in my predicted obit. Got to have some fun, and see how badly I messed up :) Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
