- Look to the heavens to find the space shuttle, but first consult your
- computer and the SPACE SHUTTLE TRACKING SYSTEM. You don't have to be an
- astronaut to successfully chart the course of the space shuttle and
- figure out what time of night it will be visible overhead. You'll be
- shown the flight pattern taken around the world on an impressive looking
- map of the globe. You can plot the shuttle's location for any specified
- time into the flight, or watch the shuttle's progress during the real-
- time simulation of the flight. You can also speed up the flight to
- watch a simulation of several hours of flight time in just a few
- minutes.
-
- This program is great for all ages. It doesn't require you to
- understand longitude and latitude lines, but merely asks for some basic
- flight information which varies with every flight: direction of the
- launch, orbit time or altitude, and inclination. This information is
- readily available through the media prior to the launch. By looking at
- the orbit charted on the map of the world, you can accurately predict
- when the shuttle will be overhead in your area. An excellent tool for
- science students or space enthusiasts.
