ISS passes over Sao Paulo: when to see the space station

7 visible passes of the International Space Station over Sao Paulo, Brazil in the next 7 days — the next one Mon 26 Oct, 20:23 local, rising in the S and reaching 34° 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 Sao Paulo.

The A3 chart of this sky draws these passes on the disc — $4.99

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.

Make the A3 poster — $4.99

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.
