Sure, On the ARISS PACKET system, you get up-to-the-second info
on the APRS page:
www.ariss.net

It shows you the last 100 or so stations and packets heard via
ISS.

Just look at the AGE column and it shows TIME since last
packets. If the age is more than a few hours, you can guess that
ISS packet mode is off, or it is not currently over a ham radio
populated area.

Can't get any more up-to-date than that.

For example, yesterday we had not seen a packet in 19 hours or
so (the system was off) and today, then we are seeing packets,
so it is ON.
