International Space Station Visible Saturday Evening

Folks - Good news!

Another great opportunity to spot the International Space Station this
evening as it passes over our area in Arizona.

It should be a great pass and hopefully the clouds will be minimal.

Treat your family and friends to a viewing of the International Space
Station tonight. I find that even the most non technical family member or
friend get a kick out of seeing the station as it moves across the sky at
17,150 MPH - that's 4.76 miles per second - and about 250 miles above us.

If you are an amateur radio operator, take the opportunity to relate how us
hams can communicate directly with the ISS or through one of its
transponders.

The ISS will be visible for 6 minutes and should be a good viewing and
becomes visible directly from the West Southwest and disappears toward
Northeast.

Time: Sat May 16 8:08 PM
Visible: 6 min
Max Height: 72°
Appears: 11° above SW (from 225 degrees)
Disappears: 11° above NE (toward 45 degrees)

I've also attached an illustration that will help you determine how to use
this information. You can watch and track the station in advance at this
link:

And, something new! I've attached a chart of the actual pass.

Remember, these times are based on a viewing site from the Mesa area (and
within 50 miles). If you would like to generate times from your specific
city or town, visit the link and follow the instructions.

If your specific city or town isn’t listed, pick the closest one. The space
station is visible for at least a 50 mile (80 km) radius around each of the
listed locations.

If you are an amateur radio operator, listen in (or work) on these
frequencies:

Voice and SSTV Downlink: 145.80 (Worldwide)

Voice Uplink: 144.49 for ITU Regions 2 and 3

VHF Packet Uplink and Downlink: 145.825 (Worldwide) - easiest to hear

UHF Packet Uplink and Downlink: 437.550

UHF/VHF Repeater Uplink: 437.800

UHF/VHF Repeater Downlink: 145.800
