Family Night Out: Shuttle Watching

Share

This might be a night where you let the kiddos stay up past their bedtime to watch the latest Space Shuttle launch from your backyard.

The shuttle flight will be the 28th to rendezvous and dock with the International Space Station, and the glow of its engines will be visible along much of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.

The launch is scheduled for 9:20pm. So, in the Mid-Atlantic region, look toward the south about 3 to 6 minutes after launch. The shuttle will appear to literally skim the horizon, so be sure there are no buildings or trees to obstruct your view.
