To find out when the tool bag flies over your local sky, input your U.S. zip code or Canadian postal code at “Satellite Tracker.”

For locations outside of Canada and the United States, try the Global Flybys on the same webpage.

Some of the most interesting artificial objects orbiting the Earth will be shown on the results page.

If the tool bag doesn’t show up, try on anther day. Each result provides about ten days of objects flying overhead at your locality.

For additional information on the NASA mission STS-126, check out STS-126 Mission Information.

For more information on the tool bag incident out in space, read the Space.com article “Astronaut Laments Lost Spacewalk Tool Bag.”

In addition, read the biography of Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper on the NASA (Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas) website.
