NOTES FOR USE OF STSISS2.ICN SATELLITE ICON FILE ----------------------------------------------- 1. File STSISS2.ICN is a satellite icon file for use with STSORBIT PLUS, Version 9517 or higher. It depicts the space shuttle docked on the International Space Station (ISS) following the addition of the Zvezda Service Module. 2. In order to use STSISS2.ICN, the file must be copied to a new file which has a name of the form "#nnnnn.ICN", where "nnnnn" is the five digit NORAD Number of the space shuttle mission. If the NORAD Number of the space shuttle mission is 26088, then use the following DOS command to create the new icon file: COPY STSISS2.ICN #26088.ICN The following sample space shuttle 2-line elements illustrate how to determine the NORAD Number. It is the five digit number in positions 3 through 7 of the two data lines, "26088" in the sample. Note that the NORAD Number is DIFFERENT for each space shuttle mission! STS-99 1 26088U 00010A 00053.54300116 .00081214 27207-7 55058-4 0 420 2 26088 57.0051 255.5389 0006569 261.7605 310.1436 16.16061691 1752 3. If ISS 2-line elements are being used instead of space shuttle 2-line elements, use the following DOS command: COPY STSISS2.ICN #25544.ICN The following sample ISS 2-line elements illustrate the data. ISS 1 25544U 98067A 00076.54258277 .00051490 00000-0 42557-3 0 4386 2 25544 51.5893 254.1381 0007800 293.5725 66.5063 15.69547735 75364 4. STSORBIT PLUS will automatically select the ICN file if present. Once the space shuttle undocks from ISS, delete the #nnnnn.ICN file created in Step 2 or Step 3 and the satellite icon will return to the internal default icon. Or, to return to the external ISS2.ICN icon (available for download separately), use the following DOS command: COPY ISS2.ICN #25544.ICN
