    Does anyone have a best guess on the prelaunch elsets for Expedition 1 (ISS 
    mission 2R).  It's scheduled to launch from Baikonur at 07:53 UT, 31 October 
    and dock with the ISS on 09:20 UTC; 2 November.
    
    As I recall for the Mir docking missions, the Soyuz would trail the Mir by 
    about 45 minutes at launch time.  If this is the case for the ISS dockings, 
    there may be visible pass opportunities at my location. On the evening of 31 
    October, the ISS will make a visible pass at 23:40 UTC.  On the evening of 1 
    November, the ISS will make a visible pass at 23:45 UTC.
    
    Back in August, 1998 I observed a Soyuz and its R/B.  It was a faily 
    interesting sight.
