Based on the Horizons ephemeris data (for SLC), it appears the outbound LROSS Centaur will not be observable during its trans lunar orbit phase over the next 4 days. LCROSS is going to the Moon and the Moon is approaching the new phase. During entire apparent orbit, the LCROSS Centaur booster will be less than 20 degs of the Sun. - Clear Skies - Kurt P.S. - I understand that the NASA LCROSS team may broadcast a live video feed from the satellite does its gravity assist fly by of the Moon. The satellite will then pass into cruise orbit.
