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: http://members.aol.com/mir16609/spot5_05-03.gif 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?
