Probably been done a few times on here already, but I found an ISS tracking app. Such a clear night tonight, and I watched it pass over at just after 2100hrs. Not seen it before. Pretty amazing thing to see. It orbits 15.5 times a day so it will pass over again in about 30 mins.

Since the arrival of Expedition 1 on 2 November 2000, the station has been continuously occupied for 13 years and 164 days, the longest continuous human presence in space. (In 2010, the station surpassed the previous record of almost 10 years (or 3,634 days) held by Mir.) The station is serviced by a variety of visiting spacecraft: Soyuz, Progress, the Automated Transfer Vehicle, the H-II Transfer Vehicle, Dragon, and Cygnus. It has been visited by astronauts and cosmonauts from 15 different nations.

I use this one to see when It’s coming over…

I’ve just seen it. But confused, i was expecting to go all the way across the sky, it didn’t, it only did about a quarter of it. Anyone know why i couldn’t see it go all the way from West to East?

It goes into the earth’s shadow?

It was eaten by the Star Goat.

The earth’s shadow, that would do it. Thanks

I thought this was a thread on ISS, you know, Internatinal Superstar Soccer on the N64.

The earth’s shadow, that would do it. Thanks

Freaked me out once when I was watching this bright light moving quickly across the sky, when it suddenly just faded away. Took me a while to work out it was a satellite going into the earth’s shadow.
