Evening

The sites below will give you sighting opprtunities and real time tracking

Human Space Flight (HSF) - Realtime Data

Human Space Flight (HSF) - Orbital Tracking

Below are the pass times for the next few days - shown are for BHX but will be approx the same for anywhere in the UK although the elevation in the sky will vary - more if you are S of BHX and less if you are North. And it will be on time!

In the first example for Feb 28th, duration of pass is 1 minute with a max elevation in the sky of 76 degrees, coming in to view 32 degrees above West and going out at 72 above SE. In this case it will disappear into the earth's shadow almost in the overhead - quite scary as it goes from a brilliant object to invisible in just a couple of seconds.

Think Discovery is attached until approx 07 March early doors if all goes to plan

Good luck with the sightings
