Thanks to our friends at Heavens Above, we have …

location of ISS

This neat little image shows us where the International Space Station is. It does not update automatically, you need to reload or refresh the page every so often - they are only going about 17,500 miles per hour. Each orbit takes about 90 minutes. So far ISS has turned more than 51,000 orbits since construction started in 1998.
Heavens-Above is my primary source of information regarding visual satellite observation. With my default login profile, I’m one click away from a detailed table of upcoming observation opportunities. The site is hosted by DLR/GSOC in Germany.
Sehr kuhl, Danke !!! /;^)
