[[image]] SMOC Web Pages For targeting, you will be using one particular web page, the Map page, which connects you to a sophisticated program that calculates and displays the space shuttle orbits. This program uses very precise information from NASA to calculate shuttle orbits and the corresponding ground tracks. You can: • view orbits • see what part of the orbit is in daylight • zoom in to view a particular part of orbit. Using this web page, you can find out what latitudes and longitudes the shuttle goes over; you can also type in a lat/lon you've selected (based on the slider map and the atlas), and find out: • how many miles the target is off the precise ground track • whether the target will fall within the footprint of the camera' • at what MET (to the second) the shuttle will pass closest to the target 8/28/96 Page 7.5
