ISS over San Francisco @iss.sf.ca.us · 29/04/2026

A Vandenberg SpaceX launch is scheduled for 7:37pm tonight. Now that the days are getting longer, sunset isn't until 8pm, so it's likely too early to be visible from SF. But launch time may change as it gets closer. Countdown: www.spacex.com/launches/sl-... Viewing tips: iss.sf.ca.us/vandenberg/

We're one hour from a SpaceX launch at Vandenberg which should be visible from San Francisco!, and lines up very nicely with sunset tonight. Look at a compass bearing of 154 degrees, and tune into the countdown from the SpaceX website. I wrote up some general viewing tips: iss.sf.ca.us/vandenberg/

Tonight's pass of the Chinese space station will will come within one degree of Mars, which could be fun to see :-), clouds permitting.

There will be four opportunities to see spacecraft above the San Francisco Bay Area in the next 24 hours 🧵

The ISS bot is back! Each morning, I post if the International Space Station (or other interesting spacecraft) will be visible above San Francisco that night. Right now, the list of "interesting spacecraft" includes Tiangong (the Chinese space station), and ACS3 (NASA's solar sail demo) ^@toren.net
