The separation burn occurred on 2002 Oct 16 at about 15:00 UTC. Here are OIG's first Shuttle post-separation-burn elements and their latest ISS elements: 1 27537U 02047A 02289.62536992 .00014229 15450-5 17369-3 0 325 2 27537 51.6393 163.0330 0023545 6.1122 144.7823 15.59430985 930 1 25544U 98067A 02288.91666667 .00048614 00000-0 61630-3 0 2666 2 25544 51.6347 166.5948 0019459 6.7944 124.4947 15.58737080222860 The following table states the number of seconds of time by which ISS will trail Shuttle: 2002 Oct 16 17:56 UTC Western Europe 5 s 2002 Oct 17 00:08 UTC Eastern N. America 14 s The separation will not be much greater on subsequent N. American passes. Observers should use the above elements to compute ephemerides for their location. I will post updated elements only if they significantly change the predictions for this evening.
