SPOT 5 Ascent

Using the data supplied by Bjorn Gimle (Thanks, Bjorn) I
generated 2 Skymap plots that should be good for the
Baltimore-Washington DC area.

The first plot:

has no lighting requirement and shows the powered part of the
ascent (T+18.5 min).

The second plot.
http://members.aol.com/mir16609/spot5_sunlit_orbit1.gif
shows the sunlit portion of the first orbit - just after the
engines shut off.   

The times are local (EDT = UTC -4 hrs).

When does the payload separate?

Cheers,
