Spot the station: When will the ISS fly over?


For anyone who has ever looked up at the night sky and wondered about the mysteries of the universe, witnessing the crossing of the ISS can be a fantastic moment.
The Spot the Station mobile app is designed to notify users when the International Space Station (ISS) is visible overhead from their location.

The app aims to broaden access and awareness of the ISS and NASA worldwide, by offering users the opportunity to experience the wonder of the ISS first-hand. The realization that people live and work in that tiny dot, which orbits the Earth at a dizzying speed of 27,500 kilometers per hour, is breathtaking.
