starshine 2 reentry

[Wally]

Scheduled for this morning at 1118UT (07:18 EDT local). Lat. is 17E.

So. . . Is that over Europe somewhere??? Quick, I've only got 10 minutes! Wally

I'm guessing you meant Lon., too.

Well, I guess it's too late now, but what about latitude? Without that important bit of info, it could be over Russia, the 'stans (Afganistan, Pakistan, etc.), or the Indian ocean.

You need a globe or an atlas, don't you? /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Guess it was far too early in the morning for me to be adding a topic! GoW, you are correct in that I of course meant long.

Lat. was 19.2N. Didn't include this info because I was figuring 71.4E long. was somewhere over in Europe, so lat. wouldn't matter to me anyways (how's that for selfishness!). Here's the full scoop:

Looks like it was over the ocean off the coast of India. Maybe a couple of hundred kliks west of Bombay. At least, that's what I figure from my not-too-accurate inflatable globe. /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
