Common questions about seeing the ISS in Kiritimati
When is the next visible ISS pass over Kiritimati?
The forecast on this page lists visible passes for the next 72 hours in Kiritimati’s local timezone, including start, peak, end, direction and elevation.

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