Shuttle returns Home!

[ballaratdragons]

Andy and his fellow crew members return home LIVE on almost every TV channel in the world at our time 6:00p.m. EST Monday.

Prime time viewing for us!

I will be glued to the Telly!

Wishing you 'Good Luck' space-travellers, have a safe landing :thumbsup:

can we catch on the scopes here in australia??

Dave,

once they get close to re-entry they will be too far north and on the other side of the globe and moving too fast to see in a scope.

If it were possible you would get a good view in a pair of knockies!

Americans will have a great view.

Actually entry interface will be 34 degrees south, which is southern Australia level, but it will be on the east side of the pacific which is useless for us.

Deorbiting info and ground tracks is here:

Somehow I knew Mig would have the exact answer :lol2:

All I knew was that it would be around the other side of the Earth (well, other side of the Pacific Ocean) and heading up towards USA (North).

Either way, we won't see it except on Telly! :D
