It should be possible to see it yes. It should be trailling just a little way behind the space-station 'chasing it' accorss the sky.

It certainly is, I've seen this duo before, nice and easy to see.

According to starrynight its about 1 degree to the west of it for the 0.58 flyby, and should be the same magnitude, but be careful as the ISS will start dimming in ophiuchus, which is earlier then you might think.
