SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-79.006 STS-79 World R/S Times 9/17 Below are the rise and set times for STS-79 for selected world cities over the next day. 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 London, England STS-79 Prelaunch Element Sets date rise tca set el az geo orbit el set 18Sep96 04:27:03 04:30:56 04:34:59 18 149 A-E 30 JSC-005 18Sep96 06:00:00 06:04:19 06:08:45 71 166 A-E 31 JSC-005 18Sep96 07:33:36 07:37:57 07:42:27 86 323 A-W 32 JSC-005 18Sep96 09:07:12 09:11:27 09:15:53 33 208 D-W 33 JSC-005 18Sep96 10:41:19 10:44:27 10:47:49 7 224 D-W 34 JSC-005 Paris, France STS-79 Prelaunch Element Sets date rise tca set el az geo orbit el set 18Sep96 04:27:05 04:31:09 04:35:24 25 151 A-E 30 JSC-005 18Sep96 06:00:21 06:04:40 06:09:06 79 347 A-W 31 JSC-005 18Sep96 07:34:02 07:38:25 07:42:51 71 7 D-E 32 JSC-005 18Sep96 09:07:40 09:12:00 09:16:19 35 205 D-W 33 JSC-005 18Sep96 10:41:53 10:45:00 10:48:12 6 224 D-W 34 JSC-005 Tokyo, Japan STS-79 Prelaunch Element Sets date rise tca set el az geo orbit el set 17Sep96 17:51:43 17:55:43 17:59:54 30 135 A-E 23 JSC-004 17Sep96 19:25:43 19:29:28 19:33:16 13 330 A-W 24 JSC-004 18Sep96 00:10:14 00:13:52 00:17:37 10 27 D-E 27 JSC-005 18Sep96 01:43:26 01:47:52 01:52:18 68 222 D-W 28 JSC-005 18Sep96 17:55:14 17:59:36 18:04:19 84 318 A-W 39 JSC-006 18Sep96 19:30:55 19:34:44 19:38:32 9 338 A-W 40 JSC-006 18Sep96 22:43:14 22:46:29 22:49:55 5 15 D-E 42 JSC-006 Sydney, Australia STS-79 Prelaunch Element Sets date rise tca set el az geo orbit el set 17Sep96 12:59:06 13:03:25 13:07:32 51 135 A-E 19 JSC-004 18Sep96 05:06:11 05:10:39 05:15:05 78 44 D-E 30 JSC-005 18Sep96 06:41:05 06:44:31 06:48:05 8 211 D-W 31 JSC-005 18Sep96 11:26:09 11:29:31 11:33:01 8 152 A-E 34 JSC-005 18Sep96 13:00:11 13:04:30 13:08:37 51 317 A-W 35 JSC-006 Compiled by Dan Schultz, N8FGV.
