## Common questions about seeing the ISS in Santa Fe

### When is the next visible ISS pass over Santa Fe?

The forecast on this page lists visible passes for the next 72 hours in Santa Fe’s local timezone, including start, peak, end, direction and elevation.

### Can I see the ISS from Santa Fe without a telescope?

Yes. During a visible pass it looks like a bright, steady star moving quickly across the sky above Santa Fe.

### Why isn’t every overhead pass listed for Santa Fe?

A pass is only listed when the ISS is sunlit while the sky over Santa Fe is dark enough, and the station is at least 10° above the horizon.

### Does weather affect viewing the ISS from Santa Fe?

Yes. Cloud cover in the forecast helps you judge whether the sky will be clear enough during a pass over Santa Fe.
