SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-78.006 STS-78 West USA R/S Times 6/22 Below are the rise and set times for STS-78 for selected US cities over the next four days. This data was generated to help hams without orbit programs to participate in the SAREX activities. Please note that the times shown are UTC and NOT LOCAL TIME. This listing includes only those passes with an elevation greater than 5 degrees. For information regarding SAREX frequencies and operations procedures, check your local PBBS, or bulletins from W1AW, W5RRR, W6VIO or WA3NAN. Symbol key: rise = time that shuttle appears above horizon tca = time of closest approach to observer and maximium elevation set = time that shuttle disappears below horizon el = maximium elevation above horizon az = azimuth at time of maximium elevation geo = geometry: A = Ascending orbit, moving south to north D = Descending orbit, moving north to south E = passes east of observer W = passes west of observer Seattle, WA STS-78 Element Set 903 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 22Jun96 19:23:37 19:27:22 19:31:14 12 178 A-E 36 22Jun96 20:57:41 21:01:14 21:04:48 9 193 D-W 37 23Jun96 17:48:11 17:51:37 17:55:07 9 166 A-E 51 23Jun96 19:21:41 19:25:26 19:29:14 12 182 D-W 52 23Jun96 20:55:56 20:59:11 21:02:33 7 199 D-W 53 24Jun96 17:45:46 17:49:29 17:53:07 10 169 A-E 67 24Jun96 19:19:29 19:23:29 19:26:59 11 181 D-W 68 25Jun96 16:10:14 16:13:14 16:16:18 6 160 A-E 82 25Jun96 17:43:14 17:46:59 17:50:44 12 175 A-E 83 25Jun96 19:17:11 19:20:52 19:24:22 10 189 D-W 84 Albuquerque, NM STS-78 Element Set 903 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 22Jun96 14:43:56 14:47:11 14:50:33 7 145 A-E 33 22Jun96 16:16:59 16:21:18 16:25:41 56 156 A-E 34 22Jun96 17:51:33 17:55:48 18:00:11 34 348 A-W 35 22Jun96 19:26:20 19:30:39 19:34:58 34 8 D-E 36 22Jun96 21:00:50 21:05:13 21:09:35 57 203 D-W 37 22Jun96 22:35:59 22:39:14 22:42:37 7 217 D-W 38 23Jun96 14:41:29 14:45:14 14:49:11 13 149 A-E 49 23Jun96 16:15:10 16:19:32 16:23:55 81 344 A-W 50 23Jun96 17:49:55 17:54:10 17:58:29 30 355 A-W 51 23Jun96 19:24:34 19:28:57 19:33:16 44 14 D-E 52 23Jun96 20:59:06 21:03:21 21:07:36 30 207 D-W 53 24Jun96 14:39:07 14:43:14 14:47:22 24 150 A-E 65 24Jun96 16:13:14 16:17:31 16:21:56 50 342 A-W 66 24Jun96 17:48:01 17:52:01 17:56:31 28 348 A-W 67 24Jun96 19:22:33 19:26:56 19:31:18 67 15 D-E 68 24Jun96 20:57:13 21:01:13 21:05:11 17 211 D-W 69 25Jun96 14:36:39 14:40:54 14:45:13 44 156 A-E 81 25Jun96 16:11:05 16:15:20 16:19:43 36 347 A-W 82 25Jun96 17:45:51 17:50:06 17:54:25 31 6 D-E 83 25Jun96 19:20:17 19:24:40 19:29:02 72 203 D-W 84 25Jun96 20:55:13 20:58:40 21:02:17 9 217 D-W 85 Los Angeles, CA STS-78 Element Set 903 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 22Jun96 16:14:47 16:18:55 16:23:10 24 151 A-E 34 22Jun96 17:49:00 17:53:19 17:57:42 44 343 A-W 35 22Jun96 19:23:53 19:28:04 19:32:21 23 357 A-W 36 22Jun96 20:58:32 21:02:53 21:07:15 43 12 D-E 37 22Jun96 22:33:06 22:37:23 22:41:30 25 207 D-W 38 23Jun96 16:12:51 16:17:06 16:21:28 45 156 A-E 50 23Jun96 17:47:22 17:51:37 17:55:56 31 348 A-W 51 23Jun96 19:22:13 19:26:30 19:30:41 24 6 D-E 52 23Jun96 20:56:43 21:01:09 21:05:32 72 19 D-E 53 23Jun96 22:31:32 22:35:17 22:39:13 14 216 D-W 54 24Jun96 14:37:20 14:40:54 14:44:35 10 146 A-E 65 24Jun96 16:10:45 16:15:06 16:19:28 89 152 A-E 66 24Jun96 17:45:30 17:49:41 17:54:00 26 352 A-W 67 24Jun96 19:20:15 19:24:30 19:28:49 28 8 D-E 68 24Jun96 20:54:41 20:59:07 21:03:26 61 200 D-W 69 24Jun96 22:29:52 22:33:07 22:36:26 7 217 D-W 70 25Jun96 14:34:33 14:38:33 14:42:37 19 150 A-E 81 25Jun96 16:08:33 16:12:52 16:17:14 52 343 A-W 82 25Jun96 17:43:24 17:47:33 17:51:48 23 357 A-W 83 25Jun96 19:18:01 19:22:20 19:26:39 37 13 D-E 84 25Jun96 20:52:29 20:56:46 21:01:01 31 207 D-W 85 Honolulu, HI STS-78 Element Set 903 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 22Jun96 01:37:22 01:41:22 01:45:29 17 27 D-E 24 22Jun96 03:11:46 03:15:54 03:19:58 21 218 D-W 25 22Jun96 17:39:26 17:43:39 17:47:58 40 145 A-E 35 22Jun96 19:14:31 19:18:09 19:22:01 11 330 A-W 36 23Jun96 01:35:33 01:39:52 01:44:11 36 31 D-E 40 23Jun96 03:10:37 03:14:07 03:17:37 9 222 D-W 41 23Jun96 17:37:34 17:41:53 17:46:14 66 327 A-W 51 24Jun96 01:33:40 01:38:02 01:42:21 80 215 D-W 56 24Jun96 16:01:53 16:05:30 16:09:21 12 142 A-E 66 24Jun96 17:35:45 17:39:53 17:44:04 26 329 A-W 67 24Jun96 23:57:30 24:01:23 24:05:19 14 27 D-E 71 25Jun96 01:31:41 01:35:56 01:40:03 28 216 D-W 72 25Jun96 15:59:09 16:03:14 16:07:26 28 143 A-E 82 25Jun96 17:33:52 17:37:44 17:41:37 14 333 A-W 83 25Jun96 23:54:57 23:59:12 24:03:23 27 32 D-E 87 Compiled by Dan Schultz, N8FGV Submitted by Frank H.
