    No, that ought to be about right. It seems both objects are still
    comparably close together, previous missions certainly saw a much greater
    separation during post-undocking days than this one. These are the latest
    elset that I have, all comparably close together, making passes with fairly
    small timely separation. MEPSI is leading, followed by Endeavour, followed
    by the ISS:

    I'm also waiting for that hole in the clouds to see that pass in some 10
    minutes or so... :)
