ISS Makes Double Pass Tonight

Residents of Perth will be treated to two passes of the International Space Station tonight. The first pass will be at 8:03pm and last for 3 minutes. It's a low pass appearing at 11 degrees above NNE and disappearing at 12 degrees above E. The second pass will be at 9:37pm and last for 2 minutes. This pass will be easier to see as the ISS will appear at12 degrees above W and disappear at 23 degrees above WSW. The ISS orbits the Earth every 90 minutes. It's a moonless night and clear skies are predicted. To find out who is aboard the ISS and what they are doing, click here.
