Hello.

Last saturday, 29 March, I've been spotting ISS in naked eye, as I usually do as weather permits.
To get my observation opportunities I following a link from Heavens-Above, created based on my location, in the north of in Portugal.
Here is the link to last saturday's spotting: http://www.heavens-above.com/PassDetails.asp?SatID=25544&lat=40.54305&ln...
Therefore, visible from aprox 19:23:02 to 19:28:44

Well, the sky was clearly fabulous, on that start of evening.
The stangest thing was that I saw a bright object, ca 1/10 the size of ISS, leading it by

Are the up-coming events plan by the Naval Academy such as the LAD-C/PCSat3 and SCIENCE still being planned as describe? There was a report once regarding RFI problems with these type projects. Looking for answers? Are there any issues with RFI and the projects slated for PCSAT3.

Here all info from ESA news WEB about the next docking of ATV-1 to ISS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three steps to ATV docking
"The spacecraft is functioning perfectly, the team is very well trained and we are looking forward to an excellent first docking attempt on 3 April. It will be complex, but after our successful launch and early orbit phase, and the transfer to the parking orbit, the entire team here on the ground has gained a lot of confidence in themselves and in Jules Verne," says Alberto Novelli, ESA's Mission Director at the ATV Control Centre (ATV-CC) in Toulouse, France.

Why is the shuttle dock shaped off center?

What is the function/purpose of the black and white bulls eyes stuck all over the outside of some modules?

I suppose this is not something you can find a technical quote for. In fact I kind of hope it isn't.

What does it actually sound like inside, let's say, Destiny?

No decibel levels allowed! Does it sound like a large office? Inside a car on the interstate? Waiting at the tracks while a train goes by (windows open/windows closed)? Starship Voyager? In front of an air conditioner? In bed with earplugs in? By a white noise sleep machine? ???

Somebody ask Peggy!
