Title: International Space Station and Shuttle-Just look up Post by: ricker on March 18, 2009, 01:30:11 PM Here's a nice site. Shows when they will be flying by your neighborhood. They are about 250 miles up, but you would think they are closer. Great to take the kids out and watch. Listings for the world but here's the link for the United States. Enjoy!

We use that data and other sites like it in our amateur astronomy club to know when and where to look for the Iridian Flares caused by satellites and the space station. It's really cool when you see your first flare. :71- :91-

The first link is for the United States. The second is for all others.
