see both the Atlantis orbiter and the ISS flying across the sky

If you have clear skies, there will be a few opportunities to see both the Atlantis orbiter and the ISS flying across the sky from many locations.
See the two largest orbiting space vehicles in the sky at the same time.

This "applet" uses up-to-the-minute data from Mission Control to project the path the spacecraft will make across the sky.

Use your telescope for close up looks

Let me know if you see it.
