The transit of Tiangong Space Station(CSS) in front of the Sun
I have been waiting for a good passage of the International Space Station (ISS) or the China Space Station (CSS) in front of the Sun, Moon or planets
A good and ideal transition should have parameters. including the low height of the station from the ground, the proximity of the crossing, the angle of the station, etc.
It was last week that I was checking Transit sites and applications. I noticed the passage of the Chinese space station CSS with a relatively low altitude in front of the sun.
After consulting with father, we decided to hunt CSS.
We had tried to register the Chinese space station many times in different places, but we failed.
The Chinese space station Tiangong (CSS) has three active crews.
Its volume is 340 cubic meters, almost a little more than a third of the ISS
I started to calculate
place of passage
The total width of the crossing line was 140 meters. Therefore, it is very important where to settle in this area.
The angle of entry of the station to the sun was approximately -116.6 degrees.
The size of the Sun was about 202 times that of Tiangong
And......
I reached the crossing at around 11 o'clock.
After installing the telescope, we waited for time to pass.
The passage was at 12:01:46 local time
Exactly at this time, the passage happened and for the first time in Iran, the Chinese space station (Tiangong) was recorded.
