Here's a link to the Orbital Tracker:
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/beta/index.html
Also, click on the 'sighting opportunities' link to go to another java
applet called SkyWatch 1.4 (click on the graphic to load the applet) then
use the drop-down menus to select the shuttle and your location.
Also some info from Heavens Above:
