## What is OrbitRadar?

OrbitRadar turns your iPhone and iPad into a live window on the sky. Watch 15,000+ real satellites orbit a photorealistic 3D Earth in real time — from the same orbital data mission controllers use.

• LIVE 3D GLOBE — Spin a beautiful day-and-night Earth and watch the whole satellite swarm move in real time.
• EVERY SATELLITE — The full active catalog: Starlink, the ISS, GPS, weather and science craft, each on its true orbit.
• TAP ANYTHING — Live altitude, speed, position, orbit details, operator and country for any object.
• AR SKY VIEW — Point your device at the sky and see what's passing overhead right now.
• CINEMATIC MODE — Sit back and let an auto-director fly you between the coolest objects.
• BEYOND EARTH — Track the James Webb Space Telescope, Voyager 1 & 2, and even the Tesla Roadster ("Starman") out by the planets.
• THE SOLAR SYSTEM — Explore the planets, moons and Sun at their real positions in the sky.
• PRIVATE BY DESIGN — No account, no ads, no tracking. Works offline.

Whether you want to catch the Space Station overhead tonight or just watch the sky come alive, OrbitRadar makes satellite tracking effortless and beautiful.
