Subject: ISS Predictions Following is a recent report of the International Space Station that I made. ISS can easily be seen without aid if the weather permits. Sites on the internet for getting orbital elements include http://www.space-track.org (very current data from the Department of Defense), http://celestrak.com (maintained by Col TS Kelso) and http://www.prismnet.com/~mmccants (maintained by Mike McCants). The last site contains satellite elements of classified objects. - Jeff Stetekluh (jeff.stetekluh@acm.org) 2024-03-18 3:37:07 AM Station: Stetekluh House Latitude: 38 deg 51 min 13 sec N Longitude: 77 deg 4 min 14 sec W Height: 38 meters Pass - From: Mon 2024-03-18 1:00:00 AM EDT To: Thu 2024-03-28 11:00:00 PM EDT Satellite ISS Catalog Number 25544 Int Des 1998 067A Epoch 2024 78.14671497 2024-03-18 03:31:16 UTC Drag2 0.00012814 Rev/Day^2 Drag3 0.0000e+00 Rev/Day^3 BStar 2.3986e-04 Ep Type 0 Element Set 999 Inclination 51.6409 Deg RAAN 46.6456 Deg Eccentricity 0.0004489 Argument of Perigee 339.6760 Deg Mean Anomaly 135.4118 Deg Mean Motion 15.49056876 Rev/Day Epoch Revolution 44442 Semimajor Axis 6798.13 km Precession 4.9495 Deg West/Day Period 92.96 Min Apogee 423.04 km Perigee 416.94 km Time EDT Az El Range Height Satellite DOW YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS Deg Deg km km Mag Visibility Thu 2024-03-28 9:07:00 PM 312 2 2115 419 3.3 Illuminated Thu 2024-03-28 9:08:00 PM 315 7 1709 420 2.5 Illuminated Thu 2024-03-28 9:09:00 PM 318 13 1311 420 1.6 Illuminated Thu 2024-03-28 9:10:00 PM 325 23 934 421 0.3 Illuminated Thu 2024-03-28 9:11:00 PM 344 41 623 421 -1.3 Illuminated Thu 2024-03-28 9:12:00 PM 49 54 516 422 -2.4 In shadow Thu 2024-03-28 9:13:00 PM 96 34 712 422 -2.0 In shadow Thu 2024-03-28 9:14:00 PM 109 19 1054 423 -1.1 In shadow Thu 2024-03-28 9:15:00 PM 114 11 1441 424 -0.5 In shadow Thu 2024-03-28 9:16:00 PM 117 5 1843 424 0.1 In shadow Thu 2024-03-28 9:17:00 PM 119 1 2252 425 0.5 In shadow
