NASA has announced a service to help monitor the position of the ISS

By the 12th anniversary of the continuous work of the team of people aboard the ISS (it is clear that the teams change, but there are always people there) NASA launched a service that tracks the station’s position. Those. The application can not simply show where the ISS is at the moment, it warns users when a station passes over such a user. The service is called “Spot the Station”, and it can alert you when the station approaches by e-mail, or via SMS.

The warning comes in a few hours so that the person can prepare for the observation of the ISS (of course, you will not observe anything during the day). But in the telescope, or even with the naked eye, you can track the station, and at least feel that way involved in this project.

At night, the ISS is the second brightest object in the sky (after the Moon, it goes without saying). The station is moving fast, but it is quite possible to observe its movement. Users of Spot the Station can choose when the service will send notifications in the morning, in the evening or in the morning and in the evening.

About 90% of the population of the Earth can observe the station, so probably almost all representatives of the Habrasoobschestva are able to admire the ISS. By the way, for the normal operation of the service, about 4,600 points on Earth were processed, and the station position is synchronized with the coordinates of these points all the time.
