In answer to Jim Wilson's questions: 1) the shuttle was not visible to the unaided eye; it would at best be dim in 7x35 binoculars. Due to the collision avoidance burn it was about 15 seconds later than expected but right on course. 2)the SFU rendezvous will take place with the shuttle having already done its key burns. Passes over south Texas will occur at SFU's orbital altitude of 299 statute miles which is more than twice as high as this morning's pass. Those passes are expected to occur in an unfavorable attitude (+ZLV on the Rbar). That approach would make the cargo bay pointed away from the earth. Paul Maley
