Buckwild Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Why Is Flight Path Of Space Shuttle Shown as Wave On Map? http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/index.html I've always wondered why the flight path of NASA's space shuttle was shown as a wave On a 2 dimentional global map. How can the Orbit Ground Tracks possibly go up and down like that? Passing over Panama...Then England...then Australia...
