The STS-134 launch on Friday will provide a rare opportunity to see the freshly jettisoned external tank fly in formation with Endeavour at around
20:09 UTC over north-western and central Europe.

Using the Vec2TLE program, I've corrected the published NASA TLE for the portion of orbit following MECO to give this :
STS-134 MECO
1 00134U 11017A 11119.83218750 .01000000 18299-2 20000-3 0 16
2 00134 51.6443 49.6487 0132731 348.7615 69.0869 16.48578511 17

Launch is scheduled for 19:47:52 UTC and weather is 80 % favorable for now.

Good luck to you in Europe for Friday !
