Next passes · worked out at
The station crosses the sky over Botshabelo 10 times in the next three days, but each time in daylight or in Earth’s shadow, so none of them can be seen.
The next visible pass is expected on Saturday, October 24 at 20:42, up to 26°; that far ahead the time can shift by minutes.
Times are Botshabelo time (GMT+2). Predicted from the orbital elements of Oct 20, 05:01 UTC. A pass needs a clear sky, and the times move when the station boosts its orbit.
Good to know
- A pass can be seen when the station is still in sunlight while the sky over Botshabelo is dark, in the hours after sunset or before dawn. It looks like a bright, steady star crossing the sky in a few minutes.
- The times are predicted from the latest published orbital elements, not observed, and cloud isn’t taken into account.
- Passes are counted from 10° above the horizon, where buildings and haze stop hiding them.
