ISS Live Tracker — Real-Time International Space Station Position

Watch the International Space Station orbit Earth in real time. The map shows the ISS's current ground-track position, the visibility footprint where it is currently above the horizon, the day/night terminator, and the next viewing passes from your location. Position data is computed every second from the latest publicly broadcast TLE (Two-Line Element) orbital elements published by NASA / NORAD.

The ISS orbits at roughly 408 km altitude and travels at about 7.66 km/s, completing one orbit of Earth every ~92 minutes. From the ground it appears as a steady, bright point of light — usually brighter than any star — moving across the sky in 4–6 minutes.
