Atlantis and Other Satellite Sightings

A week or so ago I mentioned the NASA’s Satellite Sightings page for anyone interested in searching the skies for man-made objects.  At the time, there were only a few sighting opportunities, all of the International Space Station.  This week offers quite a bit more.  Along with the International Space Station, there will be chances next week to see the Space Shuttle Atlantis and Progress spacecraft.  Here’s the current schedule for the week, though I would encourage checking NASA’s page for the most updated schedule:
