Details:
We have all been desperately waiting for the launch of HTV-7 cargo vehicle, which was due originally on 10th September but delayed a couple of days for various reasons. My evening ISS flybys just started in London and the delay turned out to be very beneficial for me. It coincided with the beginning of the flybys, so this way I had the opportunity to see and photograph both objects. And I just did that!!
The predictions for HTV proved to be wrong somehow. All the forecasts predicted the flyby twenty odd minutes before ISS. But a good friend of mine, Monika Landy-Gyebnar in Hungary saw the flyby about and hour earlier and she told me a different story. According to her experience HTV-7 was following ISS with an approximate 2 minutes delay. It was kind of a surprise, but proved to be a very important information.
