Passages visibles d’ISS
En utilisant l’application Android ISS Detector, voici les prévisions en heures locales des prochains passages d’ISS centrés sur Lillers. Les horaires et élévation varient selon la situation géographique, il faut soit se géolocaliser avec l’application soit rentrer manuellement les coordonnées GPS. Pour une bonne visibilité il faut, en général une élévation au dessus de 20° à cause des obstacles naturels sur l’horizon comme des arbres, et bien sûr une météo sans nuage. ISS arrive en général entre le Ouest et le Sud et se dirige entre le Nord et l’Est, donc à l’inverse des astres. Le temps entre 2 passages est le temps d’une rotation soit 1h25min. Le temps d’un passage est d’environ 9 minutes, dont 7 minutes vraiment exploitables et visibles.
