The International Space Station visits Leo!

The skies cleared in time to catch the 06.35 pass of the ISS this morning. On board there's a bit of a crisis: the Soyuz 'lifeboat' craft (by which astronauts return to Earth or escape an emergency) has started leaking coolant, probably rendering it unusable. The Russians are considering launching a replacement, but that would take a few days...

Meanwhile the sky was full of satellites this morning: in the twenty minutes I was outside I counted ten or more!
