Satellites visible from Mangaluru (12.9141°N, 74.8560°E) tonight, with the IST start time, direction, peak height and brightness of each pass. A pass is listed only when the satellite clears 10°, is sunlit, your sky is dark and it reaches about magnitude 4.5.
Mangaluru lies where the Netravati and Gurupura rivers reach the Arabian Sea, about 297 km west of Bengaluru. The sea gives a low western horizon, while the Western Ghats rise to the east; very heavy monsoon rain is the biggest obstacle here.
Coastal Karnataka receives around 3,500 mm of rain, nearly all between June and September. December to March are dry and offer the clearest nights.
Kudremukh National Park in the Western Ghats, about 100 km north-east, is high, forested and very dark.
Pass times for Kannur, Mysuru.
The ISS is the brightest at magnitude -3 to -4, followed by China's Tiangong station, large Earth-observation satellites, spent rocket bodies and Starlink trains in the days after a launch. GPS and NavIC satellites orbit too high to see with the naked eye.
