Lots of ISS passes coming up. was created by Frank Ryan
If you haven't seen the ISS passing over yet or plan on
getting some shots or movies of it then the next few weeks will be the time.
Some nights there will be as many as 5 passes.
If the next shuttle mission launches on target (May31) we will have a great
opportunity to see the pair this time around.
Check out Heavens Above for your local times.

If you follow the series of passes in the future, you will see that it is an early morning object, then gradually becoming an all-nighter. Some very bright passes in there.

I'll have to print off the timetable. Looks like an exciting week ahead.

Aren't most of these passes fairly low and in fairly bright daylight??, the only high one is tomorrow night at 20.32.

Low passes? I thought the ISS was in a fairly uniform circular orbit. I know it does have a slight apogee and perigee in each orbit, but I don't think it's that dramatic, is it?
