If anyone has the ascending node EQX times (UTC) and longitude for the
US orbits of STS-9, specifically the Western US, posting to this
net would be appreciated.

Also, I need to confirm the following orbital parameters:

Nodal period:		89.40 minutes
Long. Increment:	22.71 degrees/orbit
Average Height:		249.5 Km
Inclination:		57.0248 degrees

The above info was for the previous launch date.
Any updates would be appreciated.

Thank you,
