When will the International Space Station pass over Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

ISS stands for the International Space Station — the largest and brightest human-made object in orbit around Earth. Passes over Santa Cruz de la Sierra above 10° in the next 10 days: 29. None of them falls in a dark sky, though: over Santa Cruz de la Sierra the station passes either in daylight or already inside Earth's shadow, so it cannot be seen with the naked eye in that window.

The next pass of the International Space Station over Santa Cruz de la Sierra is on Friday 16 Oct at 00:51 local time, reaching 20° above the horizon.

How to spot it

Look for a bright, fast “star” that doesn't blink — the ISS outshines everything except the Moon and Venus.
It moves west to east, crossing the whole sky in 3–6 minutes.
Evening and pre-dawn passes are the visible ones — the station must be sunlit while your sky is dark. Daytime passes in the table are invisible to the eye.
Santa Cruz de la Sierra sits within the ISS's orbital band, so it can pass nearly straight overhead — those 70°+ passes are spectacular.
