And I beleive the answer was no, they are on opposite sides or earth, and whenever on is in the morning, the other is in the evening. Well, today, May 1 200, both MIR and ISS are in the evening, just 2 minutes apart! It seems unusual to me....<<< There are plenty of times ISS and MIR are in the same sky. In fact, I've seen them almost at the same time. A couple of weeks ago (sorry for not being exact) I saw a great morning pass by both at the same time. ISS was first, but MIR was shortly behind. Facing northeast, I could shift my eyes to see ISS travel NW to SE and then, without turning my head, shift my eyes to see MIR S to N. I could not quite see them both at the same time with out shifting my eyes, but it was very cool.
