When to see the ISS from Grytviken, South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands
The International Space Station’s next passes over Grytviken, worked out from its latest orbital elements when this page loads, in local time. At 54.3° S it never passes overhead: at most it climbs about 56° above the northern horizon.
Next passes · worked out at
The station crosses the sky over Grytviken 13 times in the next three days, but each time in daylight or in Earth’s shadow, so none of them can be seen.
None is expected to be visible in the next 10 days either.
Times are Grytviken time (GMT-2). Predicted from the orbital elements of Oct 27, 19:43 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 Grytviken 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.
