ISS passing

On 04/12/2025 07:29 pm by Patricio Leon | Santiago, Chile

The ISS was captured while passing at 73° altitude and 450 km distant at its maximum proximity. The Station is moving diagonally from upper left towards lower right; the highly reflective starboard radiator is fully seen at right of the main body, the port radiator is partially hidden by shadows of the Svezda service module panels . The Station photovoltaic arrays are oriented sideways so are barely visible protruding from the transverse truss bar. At the bow end (inferior), a docked Dragon spacecraft is seen as well as a Soyuz craft at the stern (superior) end.
