GOOD INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION SIGHTING OPPORTUNITY ON JULY 15

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Central Florida will have a good opportunity
to see the International Space Station pass overhead on Thursday,
July 15, at about 9:27 p.m. EDT, weather permitting.

The station with its six-person Expedition 24 crew, including NASA
astronauts Tracy Caldwell Dyson, Shannon Walker and Doug Wheelock, is
about 225 miles above Earth.

The station will approach from the north/northwest and for about two
minutes will be two-thirds of the way up in the sky as it moves to
the east/southeast.
