International Space Station

Postby Unicorn » Sat Jan 02, 2016 9:00 pm

The ISS is passing over Malaga tomorrow morning at 7.45am and will be visible for 6 minutes, SW to NE.

You can get emails from NASA to tell you when it is passing over us. I have seen it before and it is visible to the naked eye. I find it fascinating, but that maybe just me!

Oh dear, what a geek I am.

Cheers. :wave:

You can see information about visibility of the space station on http://www.heavens-above.com
Tomorrow morning and Wednesday morning are good the sightings here in southern Spain.

I also check out the times with Heavens above, I am not a morning person so write down the times and directions for the evening passes. I always give it a wave. I find it amazing that you can have a time a week in advance and it is always passes on that time.

This is the view from the ISS directly down to earth. The crosshair indicates the current ground point. The map is updated every second.
The current position of the ISS is displayed on a GoogleMap, which is not real-time video. However, the position itself is real-time.
