The ISS?

[Stargazer Jack]

Hi, does anyone know what date the space station comes back into view in the UK? Hopefully we can see the shuttle near the end of it's mission as well

Hello,

The next visible ISS pass in the UK is May 31st in the early morning.

A good site to check is Heavens Above - once you are registered, enter your town/city and it gives all the times and dates you need. These also include space shuttle times and Iridium flares etc.

Kind regards, Andrew

Thanks and I have got a heavens above account but they don't show you 30 days ahead well I can't find it anyway

Keep pressing "next" until the information comes up.

Oh ok thanks Learn something new everyday

Cal Sky is also a good site too since it tells you when the ISS (and others) pass the disc of the Sun or Moon - good for web-cams. (I'm going to give it a go later this afternoon).

Thank you and good luck with your go

Well, I used up some of my flexi-time at work in order to get home two hours earlier...just in time to see the clouds roll in!

Unlucky Good luck for next time (if you try again)

You should know better than to rely on UK weather for anything

Good luck next time.

I think I'll just wait 50 odd years until a bit crashes into my garden and take a photo of that. Mind you, with my luck I expect the space debris will just hit my camera and tripod!
