Description

SpaceStationAR is an augmented reality (AR) application that simulates the visibility of satellites in the night sky. With SpaceStationAR, you can easily spot the brilliant International Space Station, spectacular Starlink Trains, and various satellites at the forefront of space exploration with your own eyes.

As your iPhone or iPad camera captures the scenery around you, SpaceStationAR overlays passes of the International Space Station, the Starlink Train (a group of Starlink satellites), and the Chinese Space Station onto the actual scenery. You can also use the app to find bright stars, galaxies, spacecrafts like Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, and even see the direction of major cities beyond the ground. SpaceStationAR also indicates the positions of geostationary satellites, making it a valuable tool for antenna installation.

You can easily access satellite orbits on maps in addition to the AR views.
The "Calendar" tab displays events like upcoming satellite passes and rocket launches within the next two weeks. You can choose a pass from the list and simulate it in AR.

Apple Watch app and "Today" widget are also available. They show simple lists of satellites' passes.

LITE version has some restrictions. AR prediction stops 30 minutes before the passes. Full version without Ads and with the sky chat view is available on the store.

star pffft.. ,

Great communication from developer

This app cuts out 1/2 hour before the satellite passes over. Of course, if you pay the fee , then you can pinpoint the supposed correct path. They never tell you that there is a fee involved so it catches you completely off guard. Sooo disappointing!!

Thank you for being honest and consenting to clarify the wording on regular and pro version regarding cost. Knowing that the issue can be resolved is very pleasing. Thank you again. I can now recommend this app to others..
Rated highest possible.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the feedback. I'm running SpaceStationAR for decade and it's my first time to get such review. OK, I promise to mention 1/2hr rule clearly to the description of LITE version from next update (I cannot update current version from console). Because I and my wife believe that 1/2 rule and PRO fee for your lifetime are necessary to compensate all effort of development and required expenses for decade.
