Track when Atlantis and the ISS are viewable in your area here:
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/ Until Atlantis docks with, and just after separation from the ISS, some lucky viewers will get to see them fly by as a pair. |

Sad we're running out of shuttles. I always get a kick out of seeing them and the ISS pass over as a pair.

Have you ever watched one of their delivery vehicles link up to the ISS? I'm assuming you'd be able to see it just like a shuttle, maybe not as bright though. Maybe I'm wrong.

Sweet. I forgot all about this. I should drive over there and watch the lift-off.
