SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-78.024
STS-78 Central USA R/S Times  7/ 2

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
