Re: [amsat-bb] Dragon Capsule Return from ISS
Cloudy skies over Midwest last night (Saturday) obstructed my chance to view. — The SpaceX “Endeavour” capsule re-entry track will be from SW to the NE. So it will not overfly the USA on re-entry path.
Stormy weather (outside wind & wave parameters) at the planned splashdown sites in the Gulf of Mexico, could complicate the return schedule. NASA and SpaceX are planning on a water landing off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, on Sunday while continuing to monitor any weather impact from Hurricane Isaias.
NASA TV Coverage https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/#public

I was hoping to step out and see it from my yard tonight. Like I was able to when they were chasing the ISS.

Six (6) hours before the Dragon Endeavour planned Splashdown, NASA and SpaceX will hold one final joint meeting to reaffirm the Prime Landing Site (Pensacola). Outcome will be reported on NASA TV.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has already posted the “Notice to Airmen” (NOTAM) for Pensacola, FL https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_0_7073.html
and Panama City, FL. https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_0_7071.html
