The forecast on this page lists visible passes for the next 72 hours in Date’s local timezone, including start, peak, end, direction and elevation. ### Can I see the ISS from Date without a telescope?

A pass is only listed when the ISS is sunlit while the sky over Date is dark enough, and the station is at least 10° above the horizon. ### Does weather affect viewing the ISS from Date? Yes.
