The preliminary element set I posted earlier for STS-7 appears to have
an inconsistency in it.  It appears that the RAAN (Right ascension of
ascending node) figure was really the terrestrial longitude of the
ascending node, and it must be corrected for the sidereal time of the epoch.

The RAAN figure should therefore be 272.65338 deg.
