    Find out how to track the International Space Station

    NBC's Brian Williams recently spoke with the crew of the International Space Station.

    The International Space Station orbits the earth 16 times a day and on Saturday morning it will streak across the sky over New York City, if weather allows. Among those on board: astronaut Sunita Williams. With 195 days in space she's a record-holder among women. Check out this picture of Suni, one of the coolest sent from the ISS. 

    NASA flight engineer Sunita Williams holds the women's record for the longest time spent in space, and now she will become the next commander of the International Space Station. NBC's Brian Williams reports.

    You can follow the path of the ISS by visiting NASA's website, spaceweather.com or the ISS tracker. 

    U.S. Astronaut Suni Williams is the new female record holder for spacewalks. NBC's Brian Williams reports.

    Track the International Space Station

    At 16 orbits a day, the ISS is passing over the U.S. and and can be seen from cities across the country. NBC's Brian Williams reports.

    The International Space Station orbits the earth 16 times a day.  But it just so happens that this week's orbit patterns bring it right over the top of some big U.S. population centers.  This week you'll see a bright light moving faster than any plane across the sky -- you'll just need to get to a dark place. As you watch, remember: the ISS is home to six people, travelling 17-thousand miles an hour, and they're more than 200 miles high.  

    Find out more by visiting NASA's website, spaceweather.com and the ISS tracker.
