Yes, If my records are correct I observed them simultaneously for the first time at 1986-03-08 19:24 for Salyut 7 and 1986-03-08 19:25 for Mir at culmination. Of interest was their transits at 1986-06-25 20:52 for Mir 1986-06-25 20:57 for Soyuz-T15 (1986-022 A) preceding Salyut 7 by about 2 degrees. The day later they were simultanously visible with some 10 degrees spacing (if I remember well): 1986-06-26 21:18 Mir + Soyuz-T15 now docked 1986-06-21 21:19 Salyut 7 The last time I saw both space-labs simultaneously was 1990-05-23 20:22 but obviously not co planar. -----Original Message----- From: Tristan Cools <tcools@village.uunet.be> To: Seesat-L@blackadder.lmsal.com <Seesat-L@blackadder.lmsal.com> Date: maandag 26 februari 2001 23:30 Subject: Re: Mir + ISS simultaneously >At 13:19 26/02/01 -0500, you wrote: > >>On Saturday 24 February 2001 at about 18:20 UTC Mir and ISS were seen >>*simultaneously* in several parts of France and in Belgium.
