STS 127 SHUTTLE VISIBLE OVER IRELAND 19 MINUTES AFTER LIFTOF

Hi there !

My name is eamonn..Co kerry member.

Just a heads up to everyone in the Country,that its looking very likely that we will spot the Shuttle Endeavour and the external tank fly over just 18-20 minutes after liftoff.Stay tuned for updates,get your camera and cam corders ready!!

Thanks for the Eamonn, and welcome to our humble abode!

Launch is scheduled for 00:39hrs on the early morning of July 12th:

As it has been spotted before (a shuttle launch minutes after lift-off), this might be a good chance for non-telescopic photography of the pass...


...it might even come up in a future theme of the Astrophotography Competition!

Seanie.

Should be a nice one to catch.
There seems to be a lot fo ISS flybys
over the next week so hopefully again the
weather will play ball.
I wonder will we get to see the external tank again?

Right!, roll on saturday night sunday morning, this is one I want to see!
