Below are the rise and set times for STS-74/MIR for selected US 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
set = time that shuttle disappears below horizon
el = maximium elevation above horizon
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
These predictions were generated from MIR element set 356 and are valid
for the time period when the shuttle is docked with MIR. Undocking is
scheduled to occur Saturday morning. Because of the frequent maneuvers
that were conducted during the rendezvous phase of the STS-74 mission,
it was not practicable to generate rise and set bulletins before the
MIR docking. There are no scheduled SAREX school contacts during the
docked portion of the mission, but the STS-74 crew members have been
granted permission from the Russian government to operate the ham
equipment on MIR, therefore it might be productive to listen for them
as Atlantis/MIR passes overhead. The ham station on MIR operates on
145.55 simplex, the Sarex equipment on Atlantis will operate on a
145.84 downlink and will listen on 144.45 and 144.47, check both
downlink frequencies as Atlantis/MIR passes overhead. The crew sleep
period is from approximately 19:00 UTC to 03:00 UTC each day.
Users are reminded that these prediction bulletins are generated to assist
new hams and others who have no prior experience tracking space shuttle
missions. Anyone seriously interested in space shuttle missions is
encouraged to obtain their own tracking software. Many different programs
are available over the internet, or by calling Amsat headquarters at
301-589-6062.
