Wonders of Nature Artificial Satellites

This webpage is dedicated to observing artificial satellites. Most well known is the International Space Station, the ISS. When thinking of the ISS the Space Shuttles come into mind: Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour. There are lots and lots more satellites circling around our globe. Communication satellites such as the Iridiums are among them.

Most interesting is the passage of the ISS and a Space Shuttle not yet docked so one can view them flying one after the other.
