Up early this morning for a visible pass by the station , only to be met by heavy fog and mist. Above 60 degs or so the sky was clear and the station was spotted for a few seconds at an elevation of 57 degs. Just minutes before , mag 4 Cosmos rocket body ( 1093 ) came out of the murk and makes an interesting comparison. 1093 is estimated at 3-4 metres long. Progress is visible at the aft port of ISS , but later today will be de-orbited. Soyuz TMA-9 can also be seen at Zarya . It will be relocated on Thursday to the aft port.
