International Space Station allows to see the position and route of the the International Space Station over an interactive map of the world or in alternate an interactive tridimensional representation of the globe with day and night zones.
Using this application you can see if the International Space station is visible (naked eye) in the sky from your position in the next hours.
THE EXPERIENCE
• See it naked eye. Many people has no idea the space station can be seen naked eye (if you know when to look and where)
• Using the application I did it many time. Success is granted and everyone will be amazed if you show them the station in the sky.
• With a simple click you can also see the live webcam stream coming from the International Space Station.
• You have the possibility to see it naked eye many times in a month
• Often 2 visible naked eye passage in the same night (after a full orbit of around 90 minutes)
• The station takes some minutes to pass over you in the sky and disappear. It runs at around 27 000 Km/h - 17 000 MPH
• You can watch also the astronauts activities with video and audio, all live.
FEATURES
• Very accurate position calculation using latest NASA algorithm updated every second.
• Calculation is calculated locally using an internal algorithm, no external source required.
• Route path visualized over the map or over a 3d globe for the next hours to see if it will be over your location.
• Exact coordinate position, speed, elevation.
• Zoom, move and resize the map as you like
• Offers 6 different types of map/3D globe
• Automatic update of the latest orbital parameters from our servers to calculate the orbits (NASA source)
