What is the path of ISS?
The station travels from west to east on an orbital inclination of 51.6 degrees. Each orbit takes 90-93 minutes, depending on the exact altitude of the ISS.
Does the ISS follow the same path?
The position that the ISS will be in the sky changes every night. The space station does not take the same track or orbital path for each orbit and this change provides good visible passes roughly every 6 weeks in each location on Earth.
What does ISS do with poop?
On the International Space Station (ISS), urine is sent through a network of hoses and is eventually recycled into drinking water. Feces collected aboard the ISS are sucked into a canister, which is then shot back toward Earth. (Don’t worry, it burns up in the atmosphere.)
Why does the ISS zig zag?
The ISS orbit looks wavy because its path is aligned with the equator of our planet on a 2-D world map (for our visual convenience).

When will the ISS pass overhead?
The station passes overhead many times during the 24 hour day, but you can watch it pass overhead only when it’s visible in the morning or evening and when it passes high in the sky. So when the predicted passing has a short duration and low maximum height the station will be hard to spot.
When will the ISS pass over me?
The ISS usually appears over the western horizon and disappears over the eastern horizon in a matter of a few minutes. The best time to observe the Space Station is near dawn or dusk, when the viewer is in near-darkness and the passing Station continues to reflect light from the rising or setting Sun.
Where to see ISS Tonight?
While the ISS saw Colorado easily at 10 a.m. on Feb. 9, it’s hard to see the ISS from the ground during the day. To spot the ISS, it is best seen at night. Colorado will have a few opportunities
