Not sure if someone covered this before. When the shuttle launched, the ISS was over the south Pacific. According to my sat-track program, the ISS was about 25 minutes away from FL. How does the shuttle 'catch-up' to the ISS? Does it adjust it's orbit so it's slower and let the ISS pass it? Or does the shuttle adjust it's orbit so it's faster and literally catch-up to the ISS? What sort of orbit differences are we talking about to get the two in the same vicinity? Thanks.
