Default International space station

Will be flying almost directly overhead this this week several times between 5:50 to 7PM coming from the nw to NNW leaving in SE position if interested it travels about 17,500 MPH

Ocklawaha, Florida, United States | Sighting Opportunity | Spot The Station | NASA

You want to view the dates with the most minutes viewing time which means it’s can be spotted high in the sky. If you pick date with say 1 minute it will be hard to spot due to its low appearance in the sky.

I wish I could of seen space shuttle take off, bet that was fabulous even 96 miles (measured on google earth with the little scale from my location) away by the crow flies.

I have an Android app called ISS on Live. It shows projected paths and can alert you when it's directly overhead and potentially visible. It also shows ISS cameras which are usually trained outside but sometimes show interior views.
