As of May 15, 2006 the Science@NASA Web
site ceased to offer pass predictions for
International Space Station and the Shuttle by email. These were a very reliable and user-friendly way of knowing when a visible pass was expected.
I know Heavens Above provides pass information on the website but NOT by email. Are there any other sources who will email you when to expect a pass based on your location?
It's pretty hit-and-miss to have to interrogate a website to find out if a pass is expected and dropping the NASA service seems pretty short-sighted.

You might want to try the NASA Human Spaceflight site. It has the information you want.

Paul

why not download one of the free tracking programmes and do your own predictions.

It means a little bit of work but they are normally very accurate provided you get the TLE's daily.
