Using SKYMAP and a trajectory file created from STS-88 (posted previously on SeeSat at: http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/Jun-2000/0308.html ), I've plotted the STS-106 launch trajectory as viewed from a few East-Coast cities as examples. Plots assume launch at 8:45:28am EDT (12:45:28GMT) September 8, 2000. For Washington D.C. go to: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=940828&a=2571482&p=27875019 For Savannah, GA, go to: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=940828&a=2571482&p=27875020 For Charleston, SC, go to: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=940828&a=2571482&p=27875021 For a plot of a typical Shuttle-ISS launch relative to the East Coast, see a plot at: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=940828&a=2571482&p=27875022 I'd be glad to plot the trajectory for SeeSaters if you send me a direct E-mail to rick.baldridge@wj.com, giving your station coordinates (and time-zone if other than EDT, -4 from UT).
