That's the part I left out, I knew I forgot something.  Please see my
other reply first, and if you're awake after reading that then consider
this.

The U.S. ascending passes do not cover much ham-populated area on "the
other side" of  Earth.  As Paul mentioned, Japan is in the 45 minute
footprint, and India can be as well.  The thing is having hams in those
coverage areas aware and available to capture images.  As I mentioned in
the other email, a few stations may not be enough for a full image
(given fading and trying to cram a lot of data in a 2 meter signal) so
the more the merrier, and the better chances for seeing good images. 
That is something that might be coordinated if there is enough interest
to support possibly late night command station activity, I'll stop there
and leave that for Operations to speak to.
