SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-79.013 STS-79 East USA R/S Times 9/22 Below are the rise and set times for STS-79 for selected US cities over the next two 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 New York City STS-79 Element Set JSC-915 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 22Sep96 06:17:41 06:22:44 06:27:29 22 128 A-E 94 22Sep96 07:53:14 07:58:26 08:03:33 39 332 A-W 95 22Sep96 09:30:29 09:34:56 09:39:37 14 347 A-W 96 22Sep96 11:07:29 11:12:03 11:16:37 13 9 D-E 97 22Sep96 12:43:35 12:48:43 12:53:50 36 27 D-E 98 22Sep96 14:19:41 14:24:37 14:29:28 24 226 D-W 99 23Sep96 05:19:11 05:23:14 05:27:29 10 129 A-E 109 23Sep96 06:53:34 06:58:49 07:04:04 84 325 A-W 110 23Sep96 08:30:22 08:35:04 08:40:00 18 339 A-W 111 23Sep96 10:07:41 10:12:07 10:16:34 12 2 D-E 112 23Sep96 11:44:06 11:49:00 11:53:56 22 21 D-E 113 23Sep96 13:20:00 13:25:15 13:30:22 59 218 D-W 114 23Sep96 14:57:15 15:00:22 15:03:49 5 237 D-W 115 Washington D.C.
