Well, PRC-26 is making another near-perigee pass between Austin
and San Antonio, Texas, Friday evening (local time). Below are
Highfly predictions. Highfly's minimum step size is one minute;
I think the culmination will be very high (80 degrees? -- higher
from Austin than from S.A.), in the north from S.A., and in the
south (or on zenith) from Austin. The height and range are in
miles; it will be 214 miles (less than 350 km) above the ground
somewhere out in west Texas. I think the weather may be
favorable.
