official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY What does all this sighting information mean? Important: The International Space Station orbits with an inclination of 51.6 degrees. This means that, as it orbits, the farthest north and south of the Equator it will ever go is 51.6 degrees latitude. If you live north or south of 51.6 degrees, theContinue reading “How do I Spot The Station?”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY International Space Station trajectory data is now available to the public! This data, called an ephemeris, is generated by the ISS Trajectory Operations and Planning Officer (TOPO) flight controllers in the Mission Control Center at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. NASA is providing this information for use by the general public.

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Why is the space station up there? The space station is Earth’s only microgravity laboratory. This football field-sized platform hosts a plethora of science and technology experiments that are continuously being conducted by crew members, or are automated. Research aboard the orbiting laboratory holds benefits for life back on Earth,Continue reading “Spot the Station Frequently Asked Questions”
