Usinsk
The ISS from Usinsk
From Usinsk, at 66° N, the space station never climbs more than about 8° above the southern horizon: its orbit doesn’t reach far enough north. It is seen well up to about 64° from the equator.
Good to know
- The station’s orbit is tilted 51.6° to the equator, so the point beneath it never goes further north or south than that. From beyond about 64° it stays too low to see well.
- Passes are counted from 10° above the horizon, where buildings and haze stop hiding them.
