How it works

Tracking notes

  • The live marker updates every few seconds using public ISS telemetry.
  • The blue line shows where the ISS has already been during the past 90 minutes.
  • The orange dotted line shows where the ISS is heading next, using projected positions for the next 90 minutes.
  • The larger halo estimates the station’s ground visibility footprint.
