Using GoSatWatch from Indiana, I agree with Kevin's pass times. However, the 0940 EDT pass (1340 Z) is only 3 degrees. :-(
While the 1113 EDT pass (1513 Z) is a respectable 44 degrees elevation, it is outside of the announced operating times for the FM transponder (0930Z - 1400Z). 73, Steve N9IP -- Steve Belter, [email protected] On Apr 30, 2014, at 9:26 AM, Kevin M <[email protected]> wrote: >> the LituanicaSAT-1 FM transponder will be active from 0930Z-1400Z tomorrow. >> That window includes three passes over North America at around 0940Z, > 1115Z, and 1245Z >> (if I've got the TLEs right - Object 39569, I believe) > > I think you may have your times off Paul...
