Shuttle Tracking
« on: June 20, 2007, 12:50:48 PM »
Anyone know where I can find a link to see in real time where the shuttle is in orbit, and  how I can try and see it at night?

I have it bookmarked.

You can dig up sightings in your city (or closest city) for the ISS and the shuttle.  There's a skywatch applet with realtime data, but I've never used it.

This site has been very reliable for me:

Registration is optional, I believe.  Be sure to check out the Iridium satellite flares while you're at it.
