Pass-read
How to read the pass table
First column date :-)
There are three lines:
- Line 1 gives direction and time when AAUSAT-II is just becoming visible and the horizon
- Line 2 give max elevation (when it is highest on the sky)
- Line 3 gives direction and time when AAUSAT-II is just going down the horizon
So - an example ...
- April 28. 06:57 UTC(08:57 danish time) will AAUSAT-II coming up over the horizon in direction 37.6 deg (approx north-east). It will be 2999 km away.
- April 28. 07:01 UTC(09:01 danish time) will it be at the highest - only 3.9 above horizon direction 72.9 degr (eastern direction). It will be 2551 km away
- April 28. 07:04(09:04 danish time) it will fade out in the horizon direction 108.1 degr (approx east) and it will be 2987 km away.
So this is a low quality pass - short time and far away.
