International Space Station 2001.6.1

Explanation of the photo


In 2001.6.1, the ISS rose in southwest and reached it's peak in the southeast sky, and disappeared in northeast horizon. The highest altitude was about 68 degrees and the distanace from here was about 410 kirometers.

We enjoyed watching it with visitors. As the weather was not very fine, ISS was sometimes hided its shape in clouds. But the recording was succeeded. We could record better than before, you can find "robotic arm" that was installed in April. I wish we can record astronauts who are working out of the ship some day.
