SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-78.013 STS-78 West USA R/S Times 6/26 Below are the rise and set times for STS-78 for selected US cities over the next three 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 905 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 26Jun96 16:07:52 16:11:14 16:14:37 8 163 A-E 98 26Jun96 17:41:14 17:45:14 17:48:48 12 174 A-E 99 26Jun96 19:15:22 19:18:44 19:22:11 8 196 D-W 100 27Jun96 16:05:03 16:08:37 16:12:14 10 169 A-E 114 27Jun96 17:38:41 17:42:26 17:46:11 12 185 D-W 115 27Jun96 19:13:07 19:16:11 19:19:11 6 200 D-W 116 28Jun96 16:02:14 16:05:52 16:09:37 11 175 A-E 130 28Jun96 17:36:05 17:39:44 17:43:22 10 189 D-W 131 Albuquerque, NM STS-78 Element Set 905 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 26Jun96 13:01:17 13:04:55 13:08:36 11 147 A-E 96 26Jun96 14:34:44 14:39:03 14:43:26 83 162 A-E 97 26Jun96 16:09:24 16:13:39 16:17:56 30 355 A-W 98 26Jun96 17:44:03 17:48:22 17:52:41 39 10 D-E 99 26Jun96 19:18:31 19:22:50 19:27:05 37 205 D-W 100 27Jun96 12:58:28 13:02:24 13:06:29 19 152 A-E 112 27Jun96 14:32:24 14:36:43 14:41:06 59 344 A-W 113 27Jun96 16:07:09 16:11:22 16:15:37 29 359 A-W 114 27Jun96 17:41:40 17:46:03 17:50:25 56 14 D-E 115 27Jun96 19:16:16 19:20:23 19:24:27 21 208 D-W 116 28Jun96 12:55:38 12:59:49 13:04:04 34 156 A-E 128 28Jun96 14:29:59 14:34:12 14:38:34 40 344 A-W 129 28Jun96 16:04:42 16:08:57 16:13:12 30 4 D-E 130 28Jun96 17:39:09 17:43:32 17:47:54 89 204 D-W 131 28Jun96 19:13:54 19:17:47 19:21:24 12 210 D-W 132 Los Angeles, CA STS-78 Element Set 905 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 26Jun96 14:32:26 14:36:37 14:40:56 35 155 A-E 97 26Jun96 16:06:48 16:11:07 16:15:26 35 347 A-W 98 26Jun96 17:41:41 17:45:52 17:50:07 24 2 D-E 99 26Jun96 19:16:13 19:20:35 19:24:58 58 16 D-E 100 26Jun96 20:50:50 20:54:54 20:58:50 17 211 D-W 101 27Jun96 12:56:52 13:00:07 13:03:33 8 146 A-E 112 27Jun96 14:29:57 14:34:16 14:38:39 70 157 A-E 113 27Jun96 16:04:37 16:08:46 16:13:05 27 348 A-W 114 27Jun96 17:39:24 17:43:37 17:47:52 26 7 D-E 115 27Jun96 19:13:51 19:18:13 19:22:36 79 202 D-W 116 27Jun96 20:48:47 20:52:13 20:55:51 9 218 D-W 117 28Jun96 12:53:41 12:57:29 13:01:26 15 149 A-E 128 28Jun96 14:27:27 14:31:45 14:36:08 64 342 A-W 129 28Jun96 16:02:14 16:06:25 16:10:36 24 356 A-W 130 28Jun96 17:36:52 17:41:11 17:45:29 33 12 D-E 131 28Jun96 19:11:18 19:15:35 19:19:54 40 209 D-W 132 Honolulu, HI STS-78 Element Set 905 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 26Jun96 23:55:26 23:59:41 00:03:52 27 32 D-E 87 26Jun96 01:30:11 01:33:56 01:37:41 12 221 D-W 88 26Jun96 15:57:08 16:01:23 16:05:44 82 147 A-E 98 26Jun96 17:32:42 17:36:01 17:39:27 8 335 A-W 99 26Jun96 22:19:26 22:22:41 22:25:56 6 23 D-E 102 26Jun96 23:53:02 23:57:24 00:01:47 69 29 D-E 103 27Jun96 14:21:26 14:24:45 14:28:15 9 141 A-E 113 27Jun96 15:54:48 15:59:03 16:03:18 35 329 A-W 114 27Jun96 22:16:41 22:20:33 22:24:11 11 29 D-E 118 27Jun96 23:50:40 23:54:57 23:59:15 40 219 D-W 119 28Jun96 14:18:13 14:22:09 14:26:13 20 143 A-E 129 28Jun96 15:52:35 15:56:35 16:00:35 17 331 A-W 130 28Jun96 22:13:50 22:17:58 22:22:05 20 29 D-E 134 28Jun96 23:48:20 23:52:13 23:56:16 17 223 D-W 135 Compiled by Dan Schultz, N8FGV Submitted by Frank H.
