ISS Pass Sunday March 11, 2007

Heads up for tomorrow night guys! The ISS has a favourable pass over SE Australia particularly Newcastle, Sydney Wollongong.

For Oberon the pass starts at 20:08, reaches 10deg alt at 20:10, max. alt at 20:13 and enters shadow at 20:16. Max alt for Oberon is 51 deg and only 431 kms away (as a rocket powered crow would fly) - even closer for Newcastle!
