Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, India’s first astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS), is currently orbiting Earth as part of the Axiom4 mission. For Indians, this week offers a rare chance to witness the ISS fly overhead—visible to the naked eye.
 
Key viewing details:
  • The ISS appears as a bright, fastmoving dot during twilight hours
  • No telescope needed—just a clear sky and unobstructed horizon
  • Best visibility dates: July 10 (3:22 am, 4:58 am, 7:59 pm), July 11 (2:34 am, 4:09 am), July 12 (7:59 pm)
  • Use apps like NASA’s Spot the Station or ISS Detector for realtime tracking
Why this matters:
  • Shukla is conducting microgravity experiments for ISRO, including studies on muscle loss, algae growth, and cognitive interaction
  • His mission marks India’s return to human spaceflight after 41 years
  • The ISS, a symbol of global cooperation, travels at 28,000 km/h and completes 16 Earth orbits daily
Tips for skywatchers:
  • Choose open spaces away from city lights
  • Arrive 5 minutes early—the ISS moves swiftly
  • Use AR features in apps to locate the station in real time
  • If skies are cloudy, the ISS will be visible again between July 24 and August 1
This celestial moment is more than a spectacle—it’s a celebration of India’s growing space legacy.
