They didn't bring us a gift, but considering the kinetic energy of a bottle of wine at orbital speed, that's probably for the best.

I'm not sure if there's any publicly available orbital data for the ISS with enough precision.

Isn’t there an app that shows you exactly where that thing is, and when it will be visible over your location?

[–] LostXOR@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah, but that's not to the precision of a few meters that would be required.

https://stuffin.space/ should show you a decent percentage of objects tracked in Earth's orbit.
