I used a software (Satellite Tracker) to track the iss, the result is a little better than last time but there’s still a lot pf work to do #iss #internationalspacestation #telescope #space | Rami Astro | Facebook

The international space station orbits around the Earth 16 times a day, its direction and speed is predetermined but because of Earth’s rotation it follows a path shown in the animation. Due to atmospheric drag it has boosters to maintain its altitude. Right now there are 9 astronauts on board, 2 more than planned, soon there will be 11 on board ☺️ - Credit Janosch Gaia | Wil Photography
