[ATMoB-discuss] ISS & Space Shuttle tonight

[Paul Wagoner]

Hi--

Here is a convenient summary of tonight*s
viewing opportunity.  I hope someone will 
correct me if I got this wrong.  I tried 
to format the information in a way that is 
suitable for forwarding to people who are 
less familiar with ISS viewing than are 
most members of the club. 

Although it seems likely to be cloudy this 
evening, there might be a good opportunity 
to see the International Space Station and 
the Space Shuttle pass by.  You might have 
a nice view of them even through thin broken 
clouds. 

The information below should be reasonably 
accurate throughout the Metro Boston area. 


The ISS pass to watch for tonight starts 
at 8:17, 10 degrees above the horizon 
to the WNW. 

The highest point will be at 8:20, 
51 degrees above the horizon to the SW

The ISS will disappear from view at 8:23
10 degrees above the horizon to the SE

The best current estimate is that the 
Space Shuttle will follow basically 
the same path about a minute later.
