Does anyone have a timeline for the upcoming flight of Discovery? I'm particularly interested in the time of docking. If launch takes place on 1-JUL-06 docking would typically be two days later on 3-JUL-06. On this day there is an ISS transit in front of the sun at 17:32 UT just 10 km away from the spot where we observed a double transit of Discovery and the ISS on their last mission a year ago - would be nice to repeat the feat! (There will also be ISS sun transits visible in Europe on the preceding two or three orbits.) But before that let's hope for an on-time launch and clear skies here in Europe in order to see Discovery and the External Tank 20 min after liftoff!
