Sorry for the weird question, it's like the ultimate mile-high club

In Hertfordshire, UK, looking for the aurora. I saw a moving star and assume its the ISS because I read it could be visible tonight, awesome, my first time. THEN a much brighter and larger moving star came into view and I realise that must be it.

So I'm left wondering what was the first object?? Can you sometimes see satellites? What are the chances of seeing two within seconds of each other, I've never even seen one!

Had no idea it was flying over until I checked the pic and then checked the ISS flyover sites and the times aligned perfectly.

Does anyone know if there is a protocol to deal with norovirus or intestinal viral outbreaks in general?

For those not familiar with the pathogen this is a highly transmissible virus that causes diarrhoea and vomiting.

Needless to say, a whole crew releasing bodily fluids from both ends would make a mess in absence of gravity (great idea for a Black Mirror episode of you ask me).

I am aware that there is an isolation period prior to leaving earth, but hey, shit happens (I'm this case literally).

Slightly disgusting query but practical nonetheless.

I just watched a ISS flyby with a friend and we observed an object chasing the iss.

It was not superclose but it was definitely the same orbit.

Does anybody know what it could be?

I can't find any schedule to know when the next orbit reboosts is planned?

Hello,

I am designing an enigma for a LARP and I would love the ISS to be the answer !

The event would be on the 7/8 june 2025 around these coordinates : 46°09'56.1"N 1°52'38.4"E

Is there a way to calculate this early (i'm thinking there is but I don't know the tool)

Thanks a lot for your help !

Are astronauts quarantined after returning from the ISS? I can't seem to find this info anywhere.

I believe I caught ISS (as shown on the right of the moon/sun) in one of my pictures taken in the diamond ring stage of the eclipse. This photo was taken at around 3:31pm (EST) on April 8th, 2024 in Houlton Maine. NASA astronauts recently released photos to show the moon shadow in Maine/Canada area around the same time. I would like to have experts to help me to confirm it's ISS in my photo. Greatly appreciated!

On the occasion of the International Day of Human Space Flight, we teamed up with Cosmos for Humanity to add 3 levels on the theme of "Humanity in Space" to our trivia game.

The first level includes the ISS, so I bet you're going to get a high score on that one!

I hope you like it!
