Hello all,
In the following you see visibility predictions for the ISS generated
with element sets 11 and 4 days old (from Ray Hoad) and new ones
(from space-track).
Differences of about one and a half minutes do occur.

Either you use the newest data or you should

Celestrak has the latest from Space Track, so if you use a program such as

According to my elements, the next orbit will graze the western horizon here
in San Diego starting about 8:1I'm seeing one horizon-grazing pass to the
west this morning 4/11 starting around 8:18AM PDT. Maximum elevation is only
about 6 degrees so I'm not expecting much.

Don,
I too am saddened by the outcome of AMSAT-France. This latest discussion
about Phonetics had me cringing too. If a standard is put together to make
it clearer to understand each other, than so be it. I remember (yes I am an
old cranky Fart, I guess) before Satcom, phonetics had to be used
Didn't really expect to hear anything on this 8-degree pass at 8:21Am PDT - and
didn't.
But we have a great pass at 1106PM PDY tonight in Southern California!

Hi, Zack
You can find logos of different sizes on the original AMSAT website.
The ones with the ai file extension are Adobe Illustrator files, and
will scale to any size you want. I used them to make some large signs I

power supply ...

Hi Glen, K9STH
I agree completely with you and via OSCAR-10, OSCAR-13 and AO40 as

understanding it was better to use geographical linguage instead of the ICAO
phonetics and my call letters i8CVS becomes Italia Ocho Canada'

Let me clarify this battery charging issue for ARISSAT.
The crew has the capability to charge the battery onboard ISS. The battery is a
Russian suit battery. That means they have a certified charger on board.
The system was designed such that it's easy to remove the battery and charge
it. From
