    I have just learned that ATV-1 has been added to the NASA SkyWatch ephemeris
    generator:
    
    http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSOP/JavaSSOP.html
    
    I understand that The "Sighting by City" tables won't finish populating until
    tomorrow, but that the self-use JAVA applet is good to go.
    
    I have been advised that the ephemeris most likely runs from separation from the
    upper stage (which is 1 hr 6 min after launch) to the start of parking on March
    19, so it won't generate anything for the first hour on-orbit, and anything
    after March 19 is probably not valid.
