SkyWatchX

Watch the next SpaceX launch. Find out what’s orbiting above you. SkyWatchX pairs a launch and viewing guide with an interactive satellite explorer. No account, ads or subscription. EXPLORE EARTH ORBIT Spin the globe to find the International Space Station, Starlink and more. Search by name or catalog number. Tap a satellite to see its orbit, predicted passes and mission information where available. Star your favorites to find them again. FIND SATELLITES IN YOUR SKY See which satellites are predicted to be above your horizon, then follow the on-screen guidance to point your iPhone in their direction. Use the optional camera overlay for a view of your surroundings. A predicted pass can help you decide when and where to look. Actual visibility depends on lighting and local conditions. FOLLOW THE NEXT LAUNCH See mission details, published launch times and countdowns. Browse California or all available SpaceX launches, with a daily extended schedule alongside the live feed. Estimated dates stay clearly marked. FIND YOUR HORIZON Explore the West Coast reference map and open the viewing compass to orient yourself. Choose a city or use your location while the compass is open. Check cloud cover, precipitation chance and surface visibility near your viewing spot with Apple Weather. Launch-hour forecasts appear only when the published launch time is covered. Reference directions are illustrative: actual flight paths and whether you will see the rocket are not predicted. KEEP IT CLOSE Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Set local launch reminders and share a mission with a friend, including a launch card and a link to its briefing.

Bearings are calculated on your phone; an approximate viewing location is shared with Apple Weather for sky conditions. No background location tracking. Launch data sourced from RocketLaunch.Live. Extended schedule coverage is partial and may change. SkyWatchX is independently developed and is not affiliated with SpaceX or RocketLaunch.Live.
