Using the info Ted posted http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2002/0169.html I tried to generate a search orbit, for today's globalstar launch. I used a tle for globalstar M065 ( 31571 ) that was nearest the time, after it was launched on May 29. The launch time for it, was 20:31:31 UTC ( May 29 ) Today launch is at 20:12:25 UTC ( Oct 20 ) I used that info, and ted's method to estimate a search orbit. But I can tell I goofed somewhere. At least I tried. Now to see if my guess is right, in one way. That's the globalstar's from today's launch make a sunlit pass tommorow morning. I used a non proper way to estimate that.
