Iss sightings

Yeah, I tried watching it last week..but it's too fast... It was scheduled to fly right above Yelahanka...

It travels at around 27000+ km/hr... So for a person on ground, your entire horizon can be covered in few seconds

The ISS takes about 4-5 minutes to go from horizon to horizon, as seen from one location. It depends on the path it is taking in the sky, whether it is traversing very high in the sky or a low horizon hugging curve. Many a times it goes dark before it sets because it enters the shadow of the earth.

Hello 

Good evening to all, I recently joined this wonderful group.

As a radio amateur, I do track ISS from time to time for radio signal reception. Software like gpredict (https://github.com/csete/gpredict) helps to track satellites.

Best Regards

Hello all, 

Guess most of you might be knowing this already. This NASA site which sends alerts of ISS sightings 12 hrs prior.

Iss sightings are the brightest and the longest when the path follows around the zenith
