SkyWatch

On the NASA site there is an aid to finding the ISS as it goes over in the night sky. It has both tabular data and a sky picture called SkyWatch which shows a visual of the track of the ISS across the sky. (BTW SkyWatch is gotten by clicking on SkyTrack.) Of course this is old news to folks here.

I was going to explain it to my sister, but I am puzzled by one aspect of SkyWatch. When I am out looking at the sky, searching for the ISS I am remembering that the track drawn on the SkyWatch visual has two (sometimes 3) parts. One part is called acquisition and one is called sighting.

What in tarnation is the difference? When, where, what should my eyes be looking for? The acquisition track is in red and the sighting track is in yellow, but I'm really quite certain the ISS doesn't change colors from red to yellow to red as it flies over.

Expedition 17 Crew Headed To Station

ISS News

After Tuesday's successful launch, the Expedition 17 crew members are headed to their new home aboard the International Space Station. Commander Sergei Volkov, Flight Engineer Oleg Kononenko and spaceflight participant So-yeon Yi launched at 7:16 a.m. EDT in a Soyuz TMA-12 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Less than ten minutes later, the spacecraft reached orbit and its antennas and solar arrays were deployed. Expedition 17 will be welcomed by the Expedition 16 crew after docking to the orbiting laboratory, scheduled for Thursday.
