Last night I saw the space station followed by the space shuttle about 10 seconds later. They were easily visible from my house in Los Angeles. Go to Heavens Above to get predictions for your area. The shuttle is scheduled to land on Friday, which means that WISE will have less competition for coverage by the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System.
