[AZ-Observing] Re: Shuttle and ISS Pass Tonight

Several years ago I caught an early morning pass in the northern sky up 
here in FH.  It happened to be the time when the Shuttle had recently 
separated from the ISS, and then shortly after, released a German 
satellite from the payload bay.  So the three objects came cruising by, 
all in formation, first the fainter, tiny satellite, followed by the 
Shuttle, and finally the ISS.  It's kind of surprising to see several 
objects all in a row, moving together in orbit...
