With 300 x 4500 km orbit, I find MM=10.556 and i=105.6 degrees are required. Does anyone know the drop point and launch direction? Only a NNW launch will make it visible at my location. With rough guesses I find ST5 Pegasus SSE 4500 x 300 1 75556U 06576B 06076.64500000 0.00000150 00000-0 49767-4 0 05 2 75556 105.6000 075.0000 2392000 155.0000 205.0000 10.55600000 02 or ST5 Pegasus NNW 4500 x 300 1 75555U 06576B 06076.61398562 0.00000150 00000-0 49767-4 0 05 2 75555 105.6000 280.0000 2392000 040.0000 320.0000 10.55600000 02 ----- Original Message ----- > > By the launch time they will be near the sunrise/sunset line.
