[net.columbia] STS-9 optical visibility

karn@allegra.UUCP (11/30/83)

I see from some orbital predictions that STS-9 will be above
the horizon for some passes over the US after dusk tomorrow;
in particular, there are two passes (22:02-22:08 and 23:35 to
23:41 UTC on 11/30/83) for New York which I will try to observe
tomorrow.  This should be the first shuttle flight to be easily
observable from the major portion of the US due to its high
inclination orbit.
