Those have been my exact thoughts Greg. How the ISS deals with meteor showers and also space junk. Like the unexpected collision of two satellites. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg D." ko6th_greg@hotmail.com To: "andy thomas" andythomasmail@yahoo.co.uk; sarex@AMSAT.Org Sent: Saturday, August 14, 2010 1:14 PM Subject: [sarex] Re: ISS and meteors
Come to think of it, I wonder what precautions the crew needs to take, considering that THEY are flying through the comet's debris field too?

I was wondering if the perseids are visble from the ISS, and if so via the live camera on nasa-tv.
I looked at the live cam at around 1400 utc and thought I saw meteor trails flashing in the darkness. I know fixed objects on the iss come in and out of sunshine at strange angles, and at the time I could see the solar array adjusting its angle, but these looked different.
anybody any ideas?
