Shuttle pass

According to this space shuttle tracking site, the space shuttle and ISS will be passing over NC at 60 degrees elevation at 19:36 local time. It may not be dark enough for a sighting but it may be in range to receive radio signals. Cool.

I just watched the shuttle crew enter the ISS, with the familiar nautical ringing the bell and the words “space shuttle discovering, arriving.”

    …is a great site for checking what upcoming shuttle and satellite passes will be visible. They take into account how dark the sky will be and how high the shuttle is flying (whether or not it is in the sunlight when it passes overhead).
