Hi every1,
just if anyones interested bout things crossing our skies in the night the ISS is visible this month from Dec10-23rd.....its a pity the shuttle launch has being post-poned til january ya would being able to watch both of them passing over in tandem...its average altitude is 319.6km to 346.9km when passing threw our skies...Speed is 27,744km {17,240mph} so it completes 15.7 orbits per day...Checkout the web-page below for co-ordinates/magnitude/passover times..its setup in my login for that site so no need to adjust lontitude or latitude, that site is great for anything in orbit in our skies @ night or anything visual in the night sky
