FWIW according to several sources, including the space flight forum mentioned upthread, the two vehicles are now almost literally half the globe apart.
Fingers crossed we get clearer skies where I am tonight, in Europe, and in anticipation I just checked the “heavens-above” predictions.
It is calculating that there’s more than 20 minutes between the transit times of the two objects. Given that both Nuaka and the ISS are in orbits with periods of or slightly greater than 90 minutes that would tend to confirm the magnitude of the separation.
