An attempt is made tonight, at 22:54 UT, to launch the Boeing CST-100 Starliner OFT-2 towards the ISS, from pad 41 at Cape Canaveral. This elset, which assumes a circularization once at orbital altitude, should be good for the first 1 or 2 revolutions: STARLINER OFT-2 for launch on 19 May 2022 at 22:54:00 UT 1 70000U 22999A 22139.95416667 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 02 2 70000 051.6200 116.6787 0000762 242.4984 131.6463 16.34490693 06 Unfortunately, the first revolution pass over Europe appears to be fully in earth shadow - so not visible. Observers in/around Greece might perhaps see the deorbit burn of the Centaur upper stage near 23:20 UT (02:20 am local Greek time). - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org launchtower: http://launchtower.langbroek.org Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Thu May 19 2022 - 07:48:17 UTC
