If you received a confirmation email or text after registering, you’re signed up! Chances are the International Space Station just hasn’t passed over your location yet at dawn or dusk.
Not to worry! Alerts for cities are valid for approximately 50 miles around each listed location -- just pick the one closest to you. New cities are frequently being added, so be sure to check back.
Alerts are generally sent about 12 hours before the International Space Station pass. This means you’ll receive the message the night before for a morning pass and the morning of for an evening pass.
Unfortunately, no. Only one location can be registered per email address or phone number. However, if you both have an email address and a cell phone, you could have an email sent for one location and a text message sent for another.
To prevent spam, Spot the Station limits requests from each IP address to one per hour. Additionally, each code is valid for one hour. If you are receiving this message, please try again later. If you are still having trouble, please let us know.
