Hello Is the time difference between the ISS and the Shuttle the same after a certain period after launch even when the launches are rescheduled? In other words, can you say that 3 hours after launch the STS will be following the ISS by 35 minutes +/- 10 min (or whatever the launch window is) and 12 hours after launch it will be leading by 15 minutes and 24 hours after launch it will be leading by 5 minutes etc etc. Or does the rescheduling of a launch by a day or two totally change the approach maneuvers? So is it possible to make a little table with, roughly estimated ISS-STS visual pass time difference vs. hours after launch, so one doesn't have to hunt for the element sets to see STS?
