During past shuttle flights, several SeeSatters have been able to observe (with binoculars, I believe), the shuttle (while it was in the earth's shadow) by means of its cargo bay lights. This evening and tomorrow morning, STS-113 will make high passes which, except for the fact that they're all in the earth's shadow, would be nice to observe. My question - can I assume that even before docking with ISS, it ALWAYS flies "upside down", with the cargo bay doors open, and with the cargo bay lights on? (I'm not asking for too much of NASA, am I ;) ) Clear and dark skies!
