ISS passes over Lubumbashi: when to see the space station
2 visible passes of the International Space Station over Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo in the next 7 days — the next one Fri 30 Oct, 19:15 local, rising in the S and reaching 14° above the horizon.
Computed here from the current NORAD two-line element set with SGP4 — not a copied table. Only passes that are genuinely visible are listed: the station must be sunlit while your sky is already dark, and climb at least 10° above the horizon. Times are local to Lubumbashi.
The A3 chart of this sky draws these passes on the disc — $4.99

46° high at best — high and unmistakable — a steady white point moving faster than any aircraft, with no blinking lights.
Appears in the SW, disappears in the N.
Above the horizon for about 6 minutes.
Put your own sky on the wall
Firmament prints the real sky over any place and moment as an A3 star chart — and it is the only one that draws these ISS tracks on the disc, so the poster shows the station crossing your own sky.
Printing it at home? There is a second paper: the same sky as ink on white. A full-bleed night A3 bands on a home printer and drinks a cartridge; the ink one does not. Same price, pick either on the next page.
