From ELPALLSKY 08MAR2011...
Space shuttle Discovery has undocked from the ISS and will slowly seperate as Discovery heads for her final landing before being retired from the fleet. The two can be seen (weather permitting) as they glide over the US the evening of March 8th. Below is orbit path #1 at 6:23:44 pm CST and 7:24:14 EST 08MAR2011. The YELLOW circle around ISS/Discovery is the footprint of visibility. Where the RED and GREEN lines meet is where the orbiters will fly into the earth's shadow and disappear. To find out when it will be visible in your zip code go to http://spaceweather.com/flybys/ ENJOY!!Below is orbit path #2 at 6:53:14 pm MST and 5:52:14 PST 08MAR2011.
