The third column gives the maximum elevation the vehicle will achieve above the horizon, which will be 84 degrees. The fourth column tells the direction and elevation at which the spacecraft will become visible initially, which will be 11 degrees southwest. The fifth column gives the direction and elevation at which the spacecraft will disappear from view, which will be 12 degrees northeast above the horizon.
