SB SAREX @ AMSAT $STS-79.011 STS-79 World R/S Times 9/19 ATLANTIS RISE AND SET PREDICTIONS WHILE DOCKED WITH MIR Below are the rise and set times for STS-79/MIR for selected world 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 London, England STS-79 Element Set MIR-669 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 19Sep96 03:06:54 03:11:09 03:15:28 11 138 A-E 60464 19Sep96 04:41:24 04:46:31 04:51:43 43 157 A-E 60465 19Sep96 06:17:10 06:22:25 06:27:40 87 354 A-W 60466 19Sep96 07:53:09 07:58:24 08:03:37 71 198 D-W 60467 19Sep96 09:29:13 09:34:05 09:38:50 22 213 D-W 60468 20Sep96 03:42:14 03:47:11 03:52:14 27 150 A-E 60480 20Sep96 05:17:42 05:22:57 05:28:12 80 169 A-E 60481 20Sep96 06:53:41 06:58:58 07:04:13 89 186 D-W 60482 20Sep96 08:29:39 08:34:47 08:39:50 36 208 D-W 60483 20Sep96 10:06:09 10:10:17 10:13:54 8 221 D-W 60484 21Sep96 02:43:22 02:47:59 02:52:41 16 142 A-E 60495 21Sep96 04:18:17 04:23:30 04:28:45 58 162 A-E 60496 21Sep96 05:54:11 05:59:28 06:04:43 84 359 A-W 60497 21Sep96 07:30:11 07:35:26 07:40:34 56 199 D-W 60498 21Sep96 09:06:19 09:10:49 09:15:26 15 221 D-W 60499 Paris, France STS-79 Element Set MIR-669 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 19Sep96 03:06:44 03:11:14 03:15:52 15 141 A-E 60464 19Sep96 04:41:37 04:46:48 04:52:03 59 159 A-E 60465 19Sep96 06:17:34 06:22:49 06:28:04 69 357 A-W 60466 19Sep96 07:53:39 07:58:54 08:04:05 79 197 D-W 60467 19Sep96 09:29:43 09:34:35 09:39:20 21 215 D-W 60468 20Sep96 02:08:26 02:12:07 02:15:59 7 135 A-E 60479 20Sep96 03:42:22 03:47:26 03:52:33 36 152 A-E 60480 20Sep96 05:18:03 05:23:18 05:28:33 79 349 A-W 60481 20Sep96 06:54:10 06:59:25 07:04:40 79 9 D-E 60482 20Sep96 08:30:10 08:35:17 08:40:19 36 208 D-W 60483 20Sep96 10:06:44 10:10:36 10:14:14 7 225 D-W 60484 21Sep96 02:43:18 02:48:07 02:53:03 21 146 A-E 60495 21Sep96 04:18:34 04:23:49 04:29:04 79 163 A-E 60496 21Sep96 05:54:38 05:59:53 06:05:08 69 360 A-W 60497 21Sep96 07:30:40 07:35:55 07:41:04 60 201 D-W 60498 21Sep96 09:06:51 09:11:17 09:15:55 15 223 D-W 60499 Tokyo, Japan STS-79 Element Set MIR-669 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 19Sep96 00:18:29 00:23:22 00:28:22 24 31 D-E 60462 19Sep96 01:54:26 01:59:26 02:04:14 25 227 D-W 60463 19Sep96 16:50:59 16:55:56 17:01:03 30 135 A-E 60473 19Sep96 18:27:03 18:31:56 18:36:59 22 325 A-W 60474 19Sep96 20:05:22 20:08:56 20:12:33 6 345 A-W 60475 19Sep96 23:19:11 23:23:41 23:28:14 14 26 D-E 60477 20Sep96 00:54:48 00:59:59 01:05:11 73 234 D-W 60478 20Sep96 15:52:26 15:56:37 16:01:11 12 130 A-E 60488 20Sep96 17:27:14 17:32:26 17:37:37 49 322 A-W 60489 20Sep96 19:04:52 19:08:56 19:13:11 9 337 A-W 60490 20Sep96 22:19:52 22:23:52 22:27:52 8 20 D-E 60492 21Sep96 23:55:26 00:00:33 00:05:37 41 37 D-E 60493 21Sep96 01:31:46 01:36:13 01:40:39 14 233 D-W 60494 21Sep96 16:27:44 16:32:56 16:38:11 61 138 A-E 60504 21Sep96 18:04:33 18:09:14 18:13:52 15 333 A-W 60505 21Sep96 21:20:26 21:23:59 21:27:22 5 13 D-E 60507 21Sep96 22:56:03 23:00:59 23:05:44 20 33 D-E 60508 Sydney, Australia STS-79 Element Set MIR-669 date rise tca set el az geo orbit 19Sep96 03:46:56 03:51:22 03:56:03 16 49 D-E 60464 19Sep96 05:22:14 05:27:22 05:32:18 32 212 D-W 60465 19Sep96 07:00:29 07:03:59 07:07:37 6 201 D-W 60466 19Sep96 10:15:29 10:19:07 10:22:56 6 160 A-E 60468 19Sep96 11:50:48 11:56:07 12:01:03 36 133 A-E 60469 19Sep96 13:27:07 13:31:37 13:36:13 15 306 A-W 60470 20Sep96 02:48:59 02:52:29 02:55:37 5 59 D-E 60479 20Sep96 04:22:37 04:27:44 04:32:55 88 221 D-W 60480 20Sep96 05:59:55 06:03:59 06:08:25 10 210 D-W 60481 20Sep96 10:51:33 10:56:14 11:01:07 17 149 A-E 60484 20Sep96 12:27:18 12:32:22 12:37:29 38 309 A-W 60485 21Sep96 03:23:26 03:28:18 03:33:22 31 46 D-E 60495 21Sep96 04:59:37 05:04:18 05:09:11 19 216 D-W 60496 21Sep96 09:52:22 09:56:33 10:00:44 10 154 A-E 60499 21Sep96 11:27:45 11:33:00 11:38:15 72 140 A-E 60500 21Sep96 13:04:45 13:08:22 13:12:15 7 302 A-W 60501 Compiled by Dan Schultz, N8FGV, AMSAT volunteer.
