THE SPACE STATION IS PASSING OVERHEAD TONIGHT AT 7:44 PM
It should be bright enough for you to see it. MESAC members were watching it last night and it will be easier to see it tonight. As the shuttle separates from the station, you should be able to see two entities. www.heavens-above.com has directional details. When you enter search period start and end dates, you get info like the chart below.
