Hi All, Just came in after seeing the Shuttle and ISS fly over Munich for the third time since separation. The first sighting was on Friday just a few hours after undocking with the Shuttle only about 2 degrees ahead of ISS, then again Saturday evening about 20 degrees apart. Today's pass had the Shuttle about a minute ahead and significantly (about 1 magnitude) dimmer than ISS which is unusual, and I assume this is due to the Shuttle being in a "belly-down" attitude ready for the de-orbit burn. Since the underside is mostly black tiles I guess this might explain it? All in all a spectacular sight which impressed my whole family.
