Original-subject: Updated Astro-1 Observing Schedule in UTC
Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti)

A new observing plan for the Astro-1 Space Shuttle astronomy mission is now 
available for anonymous FTP. This latest plan is valid as of 4 December 
17:24 UTC and supersedes the other observing plan files that I updated to
UTC and made available for FTP on Sunday morning right after the launch. 

There are two files available. Both have the same basic information but 
in different forms. ASTRO1-2.TIM is formatted for 80 columns and gives UTC 
instead of Mission Elapsed Time. ASTRO1-2.PLN is formatted for 132 columns 
width and includes much information that had to be deleted to reduce the 
width to 80 columns. The time in ASTRO1-2.PLN is given in Mission Elapsed 
Time in accumulated hours since launch. 

As before, both files are available from GVLV2.GVL.UNISYS.COM 
(128.126.220.102). Anonymous FTP, use your local user name, and cd 
to /PUB/ASTRO/ASTRO-1. Both files are in ASCII and may be transfered 
using that mode. 

Thank you to Greg Hennessy who sent me this latest observing plan and 
whose regular posts about the Astro-1 mission are much appreciated.
