STS-126 launched on Nov 15, 2008, 00:55 UTC for a mission to the ISS. But, when I plug that into Orbiter, the ground track of the ISS does not show the node at the launch position of the shuttle (florida). Why? Should it?
Not only that, but it shows the prograde direction of the ISS inclincation to be in a southernly direction, which I thought was an undesirable launch direction due to Cuba (from other posts).
Any ideas?
Thanks,Paul
