This is a memorable ISS partnership. I had this planned quite some time ago, then it seemed the data changed, then I thought the altitude wasn't high enough, then I realizes we may have gotten wrong data by adding one extra "T" in the location for Spain. So I was really happy that a partnership with us in Oklahoma, Bon Echo in Canada, and Picarax in Spain might work out.
Because of the coronavirus restrictions, I knew that a wrench might be thrown in our plans, but I still hoped for the best.
This afternoon, Picarax explained that he still had stay home restrictions, but Bon Echo was able to watch with me. As it turned out, Bon Echo had rain, but Picarax was able to see the ISS from his house!
We in Edmond, OK had a great view of the ISS pass, and were joined by Sidehopper who stayed 15 feet away at all times. The sky was clear, and we watched the ISS pass overhead for 4 minutes, from SW to NE. The max time was 21:26:43, and the max altitude was 61º
From Edmond, OK to Hamilton, ON, the ISS traveled 1,074 miles, the time difference of 3 minutes and 40 seconds.
It took 19 minutes for the ISS to travel from Edmond, OK to Brunete, Spain, a distance of 5,567 miles.
Picarax in Spain was able to see the ISS, despite the city lights, because it was so bright!
