MidSTAR-1 is the second spacecraft deployed during the STP-1 mission. The orbital parameters for MidSTAR-1 are:

Semi-Major Axis (6871.1 km) 3710.1 nm

Eccentricity 0.00024165

Inclination 46.0 deg

Longitude of Ascending Node 244.1 deg

Perigee Altitude (491.3 km) 265.3 nm

Apogee Altitude (494.6 km) 267.1 nm

Orbital Period 94.5 min

STK analysis for a typical day yields access to the spacecraft in 2-D graphical representation; access time tables; and, azimuth, elevation and range.
