New Tracking
Hello,
as you can see a new Tracking block is active.
This version has a few differences:
- you don't need to be registered in order to predict passes.
- the tracking happens on the main page. You can quickly check a pass without moving from where you are
- the countdown feature is back
- if you don't provide your QTH I will try to guess it starting from your IP address (once you select a QTH your selection is stored and always used)
- the orbit line is displayed on the tracking list
I think that it should be easier to use than the last version.

Crew Prepares for Spacewalk, Spacecraft Traffic at Station
Expedition 26 Flight Engineers Dmitry Kondratyev and Oleg Skripochka spent Monday completing the outfitting of lights and tool caddies on their Orlan spacesuits in advance of Wednesday’s spacewalk out of the Pirs docking compartment – the 28th Russian spacewalk from the International Space Station. They conducted one final tag up with Russian spacewalk specialists as well. The duo is scheduled to begin the 6-hour, 3-minute excursion Wednesday at 8:15 a.m. EST.
Cosmonauts to Perform 28th Russian Space Station Spacewalk

Expedition 26 Flight Engineers Dmitry Kondratyev and Oleg Skripochka are scheduled to float outside the Pirs airlock at 8:15 a.m. EST Wednesday to begin the five-and-a-half-hour excursion. Both spacewalkers will wear Russian Orlan-MK spacesuits.
