SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-78.019 STS-78 West USA R/S Times 6/29 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 910 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 29Jun96 14:25:11 14:28:14 14:31:37 7 165 A-E 145 29Jun96 15:58:22 16:02:03 16:05:48 12 178 A-E 146 29Jun96 17:32:22 17:35:48 17:39:18 9 194 D-W 147 30Jun96 14:21:41 14:25:07 14:28:37 9 167 A-E 161 30Jun96 15:55:11 15:58:52 16:02:37 12 183 D-W 162 30Jun96 17:29:22 17:32:37 17:35:44 7 197 D-W 163 01Jul96 14:18:11 14:21:41 14:25:26 10 173 A-E 177 01Jul96 15:51:52 15:55:33 15:59:11 11 186 D-W 178 Albuquerque, NM STS-78 Element Set 910 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 29Jun96 11:18:48 11:22:03 11:25:29 8 147 A-E 143 29Jun96 12:51:54 12:56:09 13:00:28 63 160 A-E 144 29Jun96 14:26:24 14:30:39 14:34:56 32 353 A-W 145 29Jun96 16:01:05 16:05:20 16:09:39 35 8 D-E 146 29Jun96 17:35:30 17:39:49 17:44:07 50 203 D-W 147 29Jun96 19:10:37 19:13:52 19:16:52 6 215 D-W 148 30Jun96 11:15:11 11:18:59 11:22:52 14 148 A-E 159 30Jun96 12:48:52 12:53:09 12:57:29 74 342 A-W 160 30Jun96 14:23:31 14:27:43 14:31:58 29 356 A-W 161 30Jun96 15:58:04 16:02:22 16:06:41 46 12 D-E 162 30Jun96 17:32:32 17:36:40 17:40:51 27 210 D-W 163 01Jul96 11:11:41 11:15:41 11:19:52 25 154 A-E 175 01Jul96 12:45:46 12:50:01 12:54:20 47 346 A-W 176 01Jul96 14:20:28 14:24:39 14:28:54 28 1 D-E 177 01Jul96 15:54:54 15:59:14 16:03:33 70 17 D-E 178 01Jul96 17:29:29 17:33:22 17:37:18 16 213 D-W 179 Los Angeles, CA STS-78 Element Set 910 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 29Jun96 12:49:40 12:53:47 12:57:59 26 151 A-E 144 29Jun96 14:23:53 14:28:08 14:32:27 40 346 A-W 145 29Jun96 15:58:42 16:02:49 16:07:00 23 0 D-E 146 29Jun96 17:33:13 17:37:31 17:41:50 46 15 D-E 147 29Jun96 19:07:41 19:11:52 19:15:56 22 208 D-W 148 30Jun96 11:13:52 11:16:44 11:19:44 5 143 A-E 159 30Jun96 12:46:28 12:50:43 12:55:01 50 156 A-E 160 30Jun96 14:20:59 14:25:10 14:29:25 29 348 A-W 161 30Jun96 15:55:44 15:59:55 16:04:06 24 5 D-E 162 30Jun96 17:30:09 17:34:31 17:38:52 78 18 D-E 163 30Jun96 19:04:54 19:08:39 19:12:24 12 214 D-W 164 01Jul96 11:09:52 11:13:22 11:17:07 11 148 A-E 175 01Jul96 12:43:14 12:47:33 12:51:52 85 336 A-W 176 01Jul96 14:17:59 14:22:07 14:26:18 25 354 A-W 177 01Jul96 15:52:37 15:56:52 16:01:07 29 10 D-E 178 01Jul96 17:27:01 17:31:20 17:35:38 56 204 D-W 179 01Jul96 19:02:08 19:05:20 19:08:27 6 216 D-W 180 Honolulu, HI STS-78 Element Set 910 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 29Jun96 14:14:15 14:18:27 14:22:45 49 146 A-E 145 29Jun96 15:49:27 15:53:00 15:56:34 10 334 A-W 146 29Jun96 22:09:57 22:14:15 22:18:32 43 33 D-E 150 29Jun96 23:45:02 23:48:25 23:51:44 8 221 D-W 151 30Jun96 12:38:22 12:41:14 12:44:18 5 140 A-E 160 30Jun96 14:11:11 14:15:26 14:19:43 55 326 A-W 161 30Jun96 15:47:07 15:50:11 15:53:11 5 338 A-W 162 30Jun96 20:33:05 20:36:35 20:40:05 9 25 D-E 165 30Jun96 22:06:50 22:11:09 22:15:29 68 222 D-W 166 01Jul96 12:34:18 12:37:59 12:41:48 13 142 A-E 176 01Jul96 14:08:14 14:12:18 14:16:26 23 330 A-W 177 01Jul96 20:29:36 20:33:32 20:37:25 15 29 D-E 181 01Jul96 22:03:45 22:07:57 22:12:00 25 216 D-W 182 Compiled by Dan Schultz, N8FGV Submitted by Frank H.
