Entry Ground
Tracks
Entry Sighting Opportunities
for STS-95
NOTE: THESE SIGHTINGS ARE BASED ON THE ACTUAL LAUNCH WHICH WAS SLIPPED TO
19:19 GMT ON THURSDAY OCTOBER 29, 1998. THE TIMESPAN OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES
ARE THROUGH NOMINAL LANDING AT 17:05 GMT ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 7, 1998.
THESE SIGHTINGS WILL BE UPDATED AS OFTEN AS NEEDED AND AS TIME PERMITS.
Tracking Software
THESE SIGHTINGS WILL BE UPDATED AS NECESSARY.
Shuttle Sighting Opportunities Program (SSOP) predictions adopt visibility
criteria determined by the following "filters".
- 1) Apparent spacecraft elevation greater than 10 degrees
- 2) Local solar elevation less than -6 degrees
- 3) Spacecraft in sunlight
- 4) Apparent spacecraft solar elongation greater than 75 degrees.
Tabular entries are defined below.
- Date/TIME: local time at which spacecraft first satisfies all
visibility criteria.
- DURATION: period of time (> 45 seconds) during which spacecraft
satisfies all visibility criteria.
- MAX ELEV: maximum angle spacecraft will achieve above local horizon.
The greatest possible value of 90 degrees corresponds to overhead.
- APPEARING: direction (true azimuth) and elevation at which spacecraft
first satisfies all visibility criteria.
- MOVING TO: direction (true azimuth) and elevation at which spacecraft
last satisfies all visibility criteria.
These predictions are computed by NASA Johnson Space Center's Flight Design & Dynamics Division. Questions and comments may be directed to
Hung D. Tran at EMAIL hung.d.tran1@jsc.nasa.gov.

STS-95 Entry (KSC landing on orbit 149)
Launch: 29-Oct-1998 19:19:34 UTC
CITY TIME ELEV AZ ELSUN BOOM
1. Apalachicola, FL 15:06:17 UTC 25.8 S (174.3) 33.9 5:22
2. Brownsville, TX 15:00:31 UTC 69.5 SSE (166.6) 27.5 3:35
3. Durango, Mexico 14:58:20 UTC 28.8 N (354.2) 22.7 7:29

5. Monterrey, Mexico 14:59:38 UTC 66.8 S (180.0) 25.4 3:48
6. Raymondville, TX 15:00:26 UTC 34.0 S (173.2) 26.9 5:58
Note: These times and elevations are at the point of closest approach
(peak elevation) for each city. ELSUN is the Sun's elevation for
that city at that time. BOOM is the estimated length of time
(MIN:SEC) after closest approach when the sonic boom may be heard.
It is unlikely that the boom will be heard if peak elevation is
less than 20 deg. The entry plasma trail will not be visible
in daylight.
