Has anyone seen the space station tonight?
15 Answers
Has anyone seen it tonight? Wendilla's post yesterday was really interesting and the skies are clear tonight, but I think I missed it - got home from work too late! - it was due locally just after 5 in this area. The tracker says it's coming back at 6.37 tonight, is that right ?

We could not see it tonight it is so cloudy here in Buckinghamshire, I wanted to show my daughter it but there is a blanket of cloud in the skys, I printed off the dates that Wendilla so kindly put on last night and it is amazing how so many people want to see it....Hopefully tomorrow night will be good but last nights was brilliant sighting
Nope, I watched out for it but it was too cloudy -shame, it would have been another good one -almost directly overhead according to the NASA stats.
I did research it though and found some fascinating info:
Crew of five (atm): Jeffrey Williams (NASA) Maxim Suraev (RSA) Oleg Kotov (RSA) Soichi Noguchi (JAXA) Timothy Creamer (NASA)
Dimensions of the ISS: 240" X 356" X 66"
Altitude: 173-286 miles
Orbits the earth approx every 90 min
Ave speed: 17,500mph ...I wonder if they're getting dizzy by now !
