This site is popular for predicting ISS sightings:

This site is better for predicting shuttle sightings since it uses NASA's
ephemerides and therefore incorporates the effects of future maneuvers:

When it stops bloody raining.

So far there only looks to be one crappy sighting on the 20th, but that
may/will change when they start boosting things around up there.

Not good timing I'm afraid. Shame as I would have liked to see the two
together.

NASA may know better where the Shuttle and Station are at any given
moment, but they're not so reliable on terrestrial locations.

Until recently, they had Ascension Island and Gibraltar on the England
page; as of last week, they still had Dunfermline on the England page.

One hopes they've a better idea of where Transatlantic Abort landing
sites are.
