Basecamp Silverton

The ISS will pass directly over Silverton Sunday evening. If skies are clear this should be a nice sight even with the full moon lighting up the sky. The ISS will rise in the SW at 8:53 PM, pass overhead at 8:56PM, and set in the NE.

The International Space Station will be visible from Silverton several times during the second week of May. Rumor has it that the new solar array makes the ISS bright enough to be seen during the daytime but I have not been able to verify this with my own eyeballs yet.

May 8 The ISS will rise in the NW at 5:44 AM and will reach peak elevation in the SW at 5:46.

May 10 The ISS will rise in the WNW at 5:01 AM
and will reach peak elevation in the SW at 5:03.

(same day) The ISS will rise in the SW at 9:27 PM and will pass nearly overhead at 9:29 PM heading SE.

The International Space Station will pass directly over Silverton the evening of March 31. With its new solar array it is very bright and might be visible through the clouds. The ISS will rise in the NW headed SE about 8:48 PM and should be overhead about one minute later. The weather forecast for April 2 is more favorable. The ISS will rise in the NW about 8:05 PM headed SE and will reach maximum elevation at 8:07 PM.

Clear Skies...
