When to see the ISS from Yellowknife
The International Space Station’s next passes over Yellowknife, worked out from its latest orbital elements when this page loads, in local time. At 62.5° N it never passes overhead: at most it climbs about 14° above the southern horizon.
Next passes · worked out at
Next visible pass: tomorrow morning at 06:19.
It stays low: it rises in the south, reaches 10° and sets in the south-east 1 minute later, so look for a clear view that way.
There are 5 visible passes over Yellowknife in the next three days.
- Wednesday, October 2106:19–06:20south to south-east, up to 10°
- Wednesday, October 2107:53–07:57south-west to south-east, up to 14°

- Friday, October 2307:55–07:58south-west to south, up to 13°
Times are Yellowknife time (MDT). 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 Yellowknife 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.
