Unfortunately Discovery won't be visible after launch at my location as it is making shadow passes. Maybe we will be able to see Discovery with ISS after undocking in the evening at the end of the mission. I have posted a picture of STS99 with external tank at: http://gallery.uunet.be/tcools/satimage/images/sts99et.jpg and some explanation at: http://gallery.uunet.be/tcools/satimage/images/inter.htm Greetings, Tristan Cools tcools@village.uunet.be Belgian Working Group Satellites(BWGS) Damse Vaart: 3.2478E/51.2277N - OBS place 1 Ryckevelde: 3.2856E/51.2045N - OBS place 2 Brugge: 3.2166E/51.2104N - OBS place 3(home) http://gallery.uunet.be/tcools/satimage/index.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
