Does anyone know if orbital information is available for the Shenzhou V?
It
sure would be nice to catch a glimpse of it in the morning.

Shenzhou Seen in Europe; Pre-dawn North American Passes Mapped


Here is a link to the ground track maps for Shenzhou visibility tomorrow
morning (Wednesday) before dawn, if anybody gets up in time and near enough
to look for it. http://spaceweather.com/glossary/s5.html


The first observation of a Shenzhou-5 mission-releated object -- its
tumbling rocket stage -- has now been reported by Matija Perne
) in Slovenia (46.17 N, 14.32 E), "At 3:57:00
[4:57 AM] I noticed a satellite approximately 15 degrees above SSE horizon
flying towards east. It was slowly tumbling and was changing brightness from
magnitude 2 or 3 to invisible and back in about 15 seconds." Ted Molczan
replied, "Congratulations on posting the first observation of an object from
this mission,
less than 3 h after launch."
