To pass SO close to ISS is really unlikely, requiring fine timing, and does raise the possibility it was done deliberately as some kind of gesture. I gather the ISS partners were NOT warned it would do this.

I mention this in the latest JSR but I don't think I talked about it on twitter. During launch of the CZ-5B/Tianhe, about 6 minutes after Tianhe and the CZ-5B separated they both came close to the ISS - under 300 km, which given uncertainties in trajectory is a tad alarmingpic.twitter.com/SSHKKsKeTr

I would welcome calculations by others using the relevant TLEs to confirm my conclusions here - my code is not the most accurate for this sort of thing.

At the speed of 8km per second...it's like half min?

Read your latest launch report, and now it's bookmarked on my browser. Great stuff. Sent me down a rabbit home to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, and updates on the nuclear posture of multiple states.
