When will the International Space Station pass over Orlando?

ISS stands for the International Space Station — the largest and brightest human-made object in orbit around Earth. Passes over Orlando above 10° in the next 10 days: 34. Of those, visible to the naked eye: 1.

The next pass of the International Space Station over Orlando is on Tuesday 25 Aug at 01:06 local time, reaching 16° above the horizon. The next pass you can actually see is on Wednesday 2 Sept at 06:06 (12° above the horizon).

How to spot it

Look for a bright, fast “star” that doesn't blink — the ISS outshines everything except the Moon and Venus.
It moves west to east, crossing the whole sky in 3–6 minutes.
Evening and pre-dawn passes are the visible ones — the station must be sunlit while your sky is dark. Daytime passes in the table are invisible to the eye.
Orlando sits within the ISS's orbital band, so it can pass nearly straight overhead — those 70°+ passes are spectacular.
