ISS Pass Times — Melbourne
When can you next see the International Space Station from Melbourne? Below is Melbourne's next genuinely visiblepass — computed from the Station's current orbit — with tonight's dark-sky window and a live finder that uses your exact spot for pinpoint times.
The Station next sails over Melbourne in 2 nights — a low but visible pass, rising in the SW and setting in the ESE. Look for a steady, bright point of light gliding silently across the sky — no flashing, no sound. You'll need a reasonably clear sky.
Computed for Melbourne from the current NORAD orbital elements (CelesTrak) · elements from Jul 24, 2026. A visible pass needs the sky dark below and the Station still catching sunlight above — both are accounted for here.
Sun times computed for Melbourne (-37.8°, 145.0°) · local time.
Over Melbourne tonight, the sky is dark enough to spot a pass roughly from 6:31 PM until 7:31 AM — but the Station also has to be sunlit, so the best chances are in the hour or two after dusk and before dawn.
