    The recently launched GPS satellite will make a pass across the sky, for those in the Eastern
    North America. 
    
    Not sure how bright it will appear, but the satellite will moving moving at a good speed.
    
    Look for a pass for you location, around 1:12 UTC ( Mar 16 ) give are take a few mimutes
    
    If clear, I plan on getting it on video.
    
    In a few days, the gps satellite solid motor should be used to raise the perigee of the orbit, up
    to apogee, ie make the orbit more circular. So catch the gps satellite in a lower orbit, while you
    can.
