Space Shuttle Times

I just had a quick look at Heavens-above for tonights pass over time and noticed that there is no time given for tomorrow. Is there a reason or is it just an oversight

Yes, the current sequence of passes ends this weekend. We only see the northernmost part of the ISS' orbit and this moves around the globe slowly over a period of time taking a few weeks to complete a revolution of the globe. In order for us to see it that northern part of the orbit needs to be here around dawn or dusk.

It'll be back in a few weeks!

Clear skies,

Paul.

Thanks Paul for that explanation. I was wondering too about this and was about to post the same question.

This is a link to a is a short, lower res clipped highlight video from the 2 hour, 355meg video on the shuttle Atlantis. The video wasn't released to the public and was filmed for the middeck crew to watch re-entry on a monitor on the middeck all hand held camcorder, HAC (HUD Cam) and landing, through to disembarking

Actually, the Shuttle was due to land late tomorrow evening Irish Time, but because of Hurricane Dean, the Shuttle mission has been requested to end today (a day earlier), with the Shuttle due to undock sometime this evening Irish Time.

I was in rush at the time of the first post and what I forgot to say was that there was a time given for Friday & Sunday but none given for Saturday and I was wondering why
