International Space Station to Be Clocked at 17,500 MPH

A special guest will be arriving at 8:43 on July 4 to help San Diegans celebrate the holiday. The International Space Station will make a fly-over in an orbit almost 200 miles above the Earth and traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, according to the NASA website.

As you are outside awaiting the fireworks, watch for a bright star-like object approaching from the west-northwest (Del Mar area) and going almost directly overhead at 70 degrees above the horizon. It will fly over us for four minutes, and depart the area to the southeast, in the Jamul area)
