Shuttle Launch

KB3NDS – June 11, 2007 – 14:32

I was fortunate enough to watch the launch from the Nasa causeway live. What a great experience. I would recommenced it to everyone. Remember that the shuttle will soon be phased out and your chances to see it are getting slim. Check out some of the pics I took. Used a canon rebel xti with 300mm lens. If you look at the 2nd page of the pics, you can see the SRB sep.

They are talking about the orbital data numbers that are used by various tracking programs to determing predicted passes of satellites.

For example:
STS-117 Atlantis
1 31600U 07024A 07160.12025943 .03527001 12288-4 44897-3 0 37
2 31600 051.6268 146.0234 0056799 344.4256 107.2213 16.29726778 27
