Depending on your location and weather, there should be some good space station and shuttle viewing opps the next few days. The shuttle undocked this morning and is scheduled to land Friday morning. Check the Heavens-Above (star charts, satellites, etc) topic for links to ISS viewing opps from various locations of interest. To view space shuttle opps for any of those ISS links, change the "satid" variable value from 25544 to 36094 like below:

ISS: http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.asp?lat=29.2675&lng=-103.3&alt=0&loc=Chisos%20Basin&TZ=CST&satid=25544

Shuttle: http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.asp?lat=29.2675&lng=-103.3&alt=0&loc=Chisos%20Basin&TZ=CST&satid=36094
