[Peter Scheller]

I double checked the predicted pass of FO-29 and found that F0-29 is above 

Northern Central Russia at 02:35Z. Footprint touching San Diego about 02:52Z

and CONUS fully illuminated at 09:52Z.

Is there something wrong with my SatPC32 prediction? I used current Keps.

Please advise and thanks in advance!
