Re-Entry Path and Arrival for Shuttle?
Does anyone know (web address) the planned re-entry time, landing, and path for
the shuttle? I'm particularly interested in visibility from the western U.S. Maybe this info isn't yet available. I didn't see anything on Heavens Above. That is, a check there shows no visible passes between now and tomorrow afternoon here in the Sacramento area. -- Wayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg.

Two problems: the inclination is too steep for the final approach to be visible from the western U.S., and this time, the approach is from the southwest. None of the U.S. (except Florida) will see the STS-114 reentry. Good story with a reentry path graphic by Jim Oberg he http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8839204/ Tom |

If that article is correct, looks like I won't get any more chances to watch a re-entry from Austin, TX. The few times I've seen it were awesome. |
