This is the current location of the International Space Station in Earth orbit. The image updates every two minutes.

The location images are determined using a technique called "orbit propagation." The craft's location and direction are determined and a program calculates where it believes the station will be in the future if no direction changes occur.

If you'd like to find out when the station will be viewable from your city, or would like to track other spacecraft, visit Marshall Space Flight Center's Station Location page
