Are you going to watch for it? If so, check out Heavens Above.com for trajectory and exact times. It is pretty cool and tonight it is supposed to be brighter than the brightest star.

The International Space Station is called the ISS on heavens-above. Awesome site by the way.

I checked out HeavensAbove.com as you suggested. I couldn't find ANYTHING about the International Space Station on this site, even after typing these words into their search engine. It is just a stupid Astrology site, on how to cast your horoscope and find your astrologically compatable lover, and other stupid stuff like that. What a letdown!

Hi. Tune a scanner to 145.800MHz . That's the Ham Radio down-link frequency.
