    Slightly off-topic, but I've always wondered about this. Does the program compensate for these changes without modification, or does he gather and input new orbital data over time?

    I quoted the wrong person in my last post, that post was meant for you Dusty87.

    Stargate, are you sure they're the right times? My times are coming from Heavens Above.

    The Shuttle is passing before the ISS tomorrow night, oddly. Anyway, hope that helps.

    Thank you. Ha that is odd! I thought it was catchin it, Any reason for this?

    I spotted the shuttle, was very far along West and it was visible for only about a minute for me. Anyone else catch a glimpse of it?

    I think the above times for the Shuttle are wrong, actually.

    They are docking at 4:30 PM EDT, anybody have any idea what that is in Irish Summer Time?

    So we can safely say that the only passes tomorrow night will be of the two combined? That figure of 4:30 PM EDT comes from the official flight plan, so it's bound to be right. I just want to know so I can correct the post in the other thread...

    It's defiently going ahead at that time look how close they've gotten here

    The ISS is still about 100km higher in Altitude than the SS but the SS will probably adjust it's altitude quite early today so we'll miss that,There's also about 110mph difference in speed so the shuttle will catch up in no time.
