When will the International Space Station pass over Vologda?

ISS stands for the International Space Station — the largest and brightest human-made object in orbit around Earth. Passes over Vologda above 10° in the next 10 days: 34. Of those, visible to the naked eye: 6.

The next pass of the International Space Station over Vologda is on Saturday 19 Sept at 20:02 local time, reaching 10° above the horizon. The next pass you can actually see is on Sunday 20 Sept at 19:09 (22° 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.
Vologda is outside the ISS's ±51.6° orbital band, so it always appears toward the horizon rather than overhead.
