--Apple-Mail-1--738740870 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed The Space Station makes an excellent pass beginning just before 9:45 this evening, lasting 4 or 5 minutes. The overhead track is a line above mid Bay of Fundy, NS-NB boarder, across eastern PEI and central NFLD. Atlantic Canadians south of that line will see ISS peak very high in the NW, Atlantic Canadians north of that line will see ISS peak very high in the SE Those near the line will see it pass essentially overhead. As always it first appears out of the westward and moves away to the eastward. At its overhead point the ISS is about 340 km above Earth, orbiting at slightly more than 7 km/sec. Completes an orbit in about 91 minutes. Currently there are 5 crew on the space station. Due to the nature if its current set of orbits and because we (Northern Hemisphere) are near Earth's maximum tilt toward the Sun, the space station, at its altitude, remains almost continuously in the sun's rays (which makes it viisible) for most of its tracks that pass over our part of the Northern Hemisphere. Last evening (night) I observed 3 consecutive passes: 1st peaked at 9:23 in the south, 2nd peaked at 10:59 in the north, 3rd at 12:34 in the north. A similar situation exists tonight : 1st peaks at 9:45 near overhead, 2nd peaks at 11:21, up 24 deg across north, 3rd 12:56, up 24 deg across north. the last one goes into shadow as it peaks.
