What it does
Have you seen the International Space Station? It is visible with the naked eye! ISS Detector will tell you when and where to look for the ISS. You get an alarm a few minutes before a pass and the app provides an Augmented Reality view which helps you spot the station. The Chinese space stations Tiangong 1 and Tiangong 2 are also tracked.

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS. Filters are great to get a list of just what an amateur radio operator would want.

Another source, or past experience, is needed to know which AMSATs are actually active. Lots of them are still on orbit but long since inactive. Once an Active list is made, a manageable list is produced.What is really nice is just the information an Amateur needs for field work. Details on the pass, ground track map, and the Modes, Uplink and Downlink frequencies come up with one click on the satellite of interest. More…from apps.apple.com

You can see where the International Space Station is now, with live HD video from NASA, on a realistic 3D globe. The positions of the sun and moon are also accurate, though distances aren't to scale. The clouds are also near-realtime; I span that out into a separate project at https://clouds.matteason.co.uk, where the cloud images I create from EUMETSAT data are freely available. I've got more features almost ready to go, like the ability to turn off all UI, toggleable clouds and turning off the day/night cycle I'd love for…
