I did see the ISS and Shuttle Last night along with the night before. I havent seen the ATV yet. Will be looking tonight again. And also the Sonic Booms!! 73, Cameron Amateur Radio Operator ( K4ACB ) Saint Petersburg, FL EL87QT K4ACB(a)yahoo.com / KI4VYQ(a)yahoo.com ----- Original Message ---- From: Keith N4ZQ <n4zq(a)netzero.net> To: amsat-florida(a)amsat.org Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 6:19:15 PM Subject: [amsat-florida] Re: ISS Pass and Sonic Booms !! Almost forgot about the Jules Verne. Shining like a 1st magnitude star, the European Space Agency's Jules Verne cargo carrier is flying 2000 km or 4 minutes ahead of the ISS. A little harder to see then the ISS but give it a shot around 20:16. Start looking in the SW direction, and reaching 52 degree elevation in the NW and setting at NNE. -- "Keith N4ZQ" <n4zq(a)netzero.net> wrote: With the wave off of the original 19:05 EDT Shuttle landing, the second opportunity is at 20:39 EDT. The flight path for the shuttle is now to cross central Florida just north of the Tampa Bay area, Orlando and then the Cape. With sunset at 19:46 EDT that means if you step out around 20:20 and look south west you'll get to see the ISS go by on a 52 degree elevation pass, followed shortly by the sonic booms of the shuttle.

ISS visible pass tonight over Florida
by Andrew Glasbrenner 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

This looks like it could be really neat. Jules Verne, ISS, and the shuttle all in rapid succession. Looks to me like 759 to 807 local for ISS, southwest to northeast. I'll be listening on NI4CE as it comes overhead if there isn't a net on. 73, Drew KO4MA
