🛰️ Fetching ISS location...
The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth every 90 minutes, passing over different locations constantly. The ISS Tracker uses real-time satellite data to show exactly where the ISS is at any moment and predicts future passes over your location. The ISS is humanity's footprint in space—a continuously occupied orbital laboratory where astronauts conduct experiments. Millions of people track the ISS, watching for passes where it's visible from the ground. The ISS is the brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus, often visible to the naked eye. Our ISS Tracker displays: current ISS position on an interactive map, altitude and orbital speed, next passes visible from your location, duration of visibility, maximum elevation angle, and historical ISS data. Astronomy enthusiasts use it to spot the ISS visually from Earth (ideal viewing requires clear skies and dawn/dusk hours). Scientists interested in space exploration track ISS activities. Educators use it to teach orbital mechanics and space science. Photography enthusiasts plan ISS photography sessions. Enter your location (latitude/longitude or city name), and the tool calculates exactly when the ISS will pass overhead, how high it will climb in the sky, and how long it will be visible. Set notifications for upcoming passes.
Yes, depending on the pass characteristics and light conditions. The tool predicts visible passes from your location.
The ISS is the brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus. It can be bright enough to cast shadows on clear nights.
Best visibility is typically within 1 hour of sunrise or sunset when the sky is still dark but the ISS is still illuminated by the Sun.
The ISS orbits every 90 minutes, but visibility from any location varies. Passes might be frequent one month and infrequent the next.
