International Space Station Begins Series on Passes Over United States

If you are interested in seeing it for yourself, visit either Space Weather or Heavens Above for more information. [NASA also has a satellite tracker]

I have posted a table below that includes the details of the passes for my location in western North Carolina according to Heavens Above...
