Below are the rise and set times for STS-79 for selected world 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

There is a small thruster firing scheduled for about 06:00 UTC on
September 25 which may cause these predictions to be in error by up to
a few minutes after that time.  Landing at Kennedy Space Center is
scheduled for 12:12 UTC on September 26 on orbit 160. Predictions for
orbits later than that time are provided in the event that the mission
should be extended due to bad weather at the landing site.
