Hi, I read francisdrakes manual & it said to deorbit at a distance of 1800M from the cape, I did that
& I missed the cape by 50km altitude. with the new atmospheric upgrade, which distance from
that cape do I need to deorbit & periapsis at inc of 90 for STS-107, LDEF & 45 for ISS,HST.

Thanks

1800M still sounds right, looks like you just need to work on dumping lift more. maybe do some S
turns to slow down.

actually, I did a test. I found out that the angle from the my location to the cape is 135. if I did
that, then I reentered like planned
