Viewing ISS and Dragon fly over

[slcasner]

I've been monitoring the list of ISS Sighting opportunities in the NASA app, and on Saturday night there was a good high-azimuth one lasting five minutes on a clear night in the SF Bay Area. What I hadn't considered until I saw it was that the Dragon supply ship was approaching the ISS that night! There was a little spot tracking right after the ISS as it passed across the sky.

My neighbor knocked on my door that night telling me to come outside and see the Dragon and ISS. Unfortunately by the time I got my shoes and coat on the track of the two vehicles had progressed so far that the Dragon was no longer visible. The ISS was really bright, but my wife and I could not quite make out the Dragon.

I have received Spot the Station notifications in the past but for some reason that night I didn’t get any.

You can get the ISS Spotter App for your phone as well..

Another free site that has been mentioned previously, Heavens-Above
Iridium flairs and visible passes by satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope are also listed.
They recently added a cool ISS 3D interactive that has some Kerbal aspects to it.

I signed up for the text notifications there, the when it is time, I pop into the Starwalk app to track the ISS.
Although something that notifies my based on my location (I travel quite a bit) would be better.
