Tonight's Shuttle launch
« on: November 14, 2008, 09:24:15 am »
Anyone know if it is taking a ground track up the East coast?

Thought I heard once that all Shuttles launched to the ISS follow a roughly NE groundtrack out of KSC, but I've never been able to find a site that will confirm or show that. Either way, I've seen a Shuttle streak up here on the Jersey coast twice before after a night/early morning launch and would like to point it out to the kids tonight if the weather cooperates.

Anybody out there got relevant info?

(the real pisser is that we just got back from a week staying at an Uncle's condo in Jupiter Fl, within viewing distance if they would've launched a few days earlier)
