| Nov 16, 2020 at 12:31 | comment | added | uhoh | Why does the ISS track appear to be sinusoidal?... it isn't so these answers are less than completely correct. See Why does the Sun track out a seemingly sinusoidal path on the celestial sphere? and Analytical expression for the ground track of the International Space Station and What are the chances that the ISS transits the moon as seen from your house (or headquarters)? | |
| Nov 16, 2020 at 12:31 | comment | added | uhoh | See answers to How do I determine the ground-track period of a LEO satellite?, and then see How long does it take for ISS to travel over all possible places of the world one time? and How often does the ISS orbit over the same latitude and longtitude, at exactly the same time of day, as previously? and Analytical expression for the ground track of the International Space Station and... | |

| Nov 15, 2020 at 19:17 | comment | added | lawndownunder | @DrSheldon yes, so, by this I mean the satellite visible from the ground. So if I go out, when will I see the sat. | |

| Nov 15, 2020 at 18:15 | comment | added | DrSheldon | "Pass over" is a somewhat vague term. It could mean directly under the satellite's footprint, ground visible from the satellite, the satellite visible from the ground, or within some arbitrary angle. Can you please clarify the question? | |
