    As the shuttle is docked to the ISS, just use the TLE for the ISS from heavens above.
    Are if you can access spacetrack, use the TLE data there.
    
    You can use the STS tle data off the nasa site, are from spacetrack, once the shuttle is undocked.
    
    Then there's the problem, of the shuttle boosting the ISS orbit, see
    
    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8814642
    
    For why.
    
    The nasa data will take that into effect.
