About ISS (ZVEZDA)

ISS (ZVEZDA) is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Jul 12, 2000 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 93 minutes (15.5 times a day), between 414 and 424 km up, on an orbit tilted 51.6° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 52° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.

Over the last 24 days its lowest point went from 416 km to 414 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
