The Orbiter and the ISS undocked this morning, and will both make low-altitude
passes over Arizona skies tonight. Heavens Above shows a maximum altitude of
12 degrees above the north-northeast horizon for Tempe for both craft. The
Shuttle Orbiter passes over at 9:06:11 MST, and it followed by the ISS 18
seconds later at 9:06:29 MST. It looks like the prospects for seeing both in
the sky at the same time are slim.
Since the closest point on the ground track is in Colorado, the altitudes will
be higher for those who live farther north or east in Arizona.
