ISS and Discovery - Final visible pass
Hi all, Just had one of those rare opportunities with clear skies in the UK and a wonderful sighting to remember.. The ISS and shuttle Discovery were both very visible - now undocked and in transit west to east before going into eclipse 1924 hrs GMT Being the last opportunity to see the pair like this will be something that I will never forget. Happy landing Discovery, Good Luck and well done to all of the team that gave you such support. Ken Eaton GW1FKY Amsat - UK Amsat NA

Shuttle Discovery flying over Boston
I posted my photos on flickr.
Attached are a few pictures of the Space shuttle Discover STS-133. Taken at 7 PM March 7, 2011 from Groton Mass. The Shuttle and the Space station can both are see in this image. The leading streak is the Shuttle. The second streak is the international Space station.
Sincerely

Unfortunately, it's probably going to be overcast here in SoCal. I just updated the Keps in GPredict, and I'll step outside when it's due over, but we might not see anything tonight..... 73, Jim KQ6EA
