Many, many opportunities to see the space station and shuttle as it 
approaches the station this week and next.  Above is the link for the USA. 
Go to Alabama from there, then to MGM or Wetu, or whatever is appropriate 
for where you are.  When it gives a time and duration, that is precisely 
your visual op, before or after, u missed it.  Elevation is how high it will 
be in the sky, with 90 degrees being straight up.  The higher it is, the 
closer it is to you as angles create distance.  Wednesday evening both will 
come nearly directly overhead and will be the best view of the week, 
trusting no clouds.

The approach and departure is where they are coming from and going to in the 
sky.  Wednesday they will come from Prattville direction and go towards 
Troy, these being only approximate directives.

Good luck with your viewing.  This is special and I trust you will schedule 
your timing to be outside looking at the heavens.  Feel free to call for 
further instructions or confirmation of your sightings.
