that are flying overhead in their orbits can be determined at Heavens-Above. Once you configure your observing location you can check potential sighting opportunities 10 to 14 days in advance. This is a terrific time to use this web tool since Shuttle Discovery just launched to the International Space Station (ISS) on a 14 day long mission.
Here's an alternative, and maybe simpler, tracking utility. Just enter your zip code.
I just checked the viewing opportunities of the ISS for the Spokane area: every night this week, around 8 pm or so, there are easy sightings to be had. It's just a matter for the weather to cooperate but the forecast looks pretty mixed.
RELATED: Here's a NASA web page that includes a nifty java script that shows where the shuttle and ISS are at any moment in time.
