## What is Supercluster?

Supercluster is your homebase for everything happening in space.

The Launch Tracker keeps you up to the minute on every space mission happening anywhere on Earth. Stream launches live, get notifications, and learn about spacecraft and payload specs — with launch coverage and images from the Supercluster network, including some of the top space photographers working today.

For crewed missions, go deeper with our interactive Astronaut Database, the most complete record of every living thing to leave planet Earth. Browse and sort astronauts by craft, mission, and nations. Research all-time space record holders, and explore the new world of commercial spaceflight.

All missions to the International Space Station and China’s Tiangong Space Station can be monitored via our Stations Dashboard. Follow vehicles dispatched by SpaceX, Roscosmos, and others, and keep up with crewmembers ferried to each station. Maps show the global positions of each orbiting laboratory, and a timetable records arrivals and future departures.

Want to see the ISS for yourself? Just look up. The Supercluster App now integrates Space Station Sightings — select notifications to receive updates when the ISS is above you, check visibility ratings, and get directions for where and when to look.

Space is closer than you think.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2026-06-06, version 3.5.1*

This app is so well made. The design is beautiful and the writing is excellent. So refreshing amongst a sea of cookie cutter mediocre apps.

### 4/5 — Compass issue

*2026-05-19, version 3.5.1*

When using app, compass is approx 30 degrees off

### 1/5 — Wrong launch information

*2026-02-16, version 3.5.0*

Once again you show launched when actually postponed an hour.  Your rescheduled updates suck.

### 3/5 — Still consistently dropping out.

*2025-12-29, version 3.4.0*

Prior “ fix” didn’t stop the “dropping out” problem. 

I might return to this app again if I receive notification that another attempt to “fix” this problem has been successful. Otherwise, I’ll just keep searching for a better app. Adios! (God @light-speed!)

### 1/5 — Unable to find ISS & Tiangong

*2025-11-24, version 3.4.0*

Inaccurate info on tracking ISS and Tiangong. Very disappointing.

### 5/5 — Astronaut Gokhan

*2025-11-21, version 3.4.0*

Very effective to easily and accurately follow the launch dates, rocket details, astronauts details. Useful for students, astronomers and space sector. Great and easy user-interface.

### 4/5 — Great Resource

*2025-08-16, version 3.4.0*

Reading spacecraft and mission specs and astronaut bios, you can easily get pulled down a rabbit hole.  Very interesting. Looking forward to watching a live launch. 

The app does crash regularly. It crashed 3 times in the first 30 minutes that I used it. 

Space tourists who spent $$$$$ for a 10 minute ride on a Blue Origin flight should not be on the same list as the pilots, engineers, physicists, teachers and biologists who are truly astronauts.  Make a separate list for the non-contributing people.

### 1/5 — Missed many launches

*2025-08-14, version 3.4.0*

At first when the app first came out, I thought it was great. Was telling everybody about it everyone I know to download it living here in Cape Canaveral until I started noticing many missed launches that were not on the app. I stopped checking spaceflight now because this app was accurate in the beginning, but as of lately I have missed about, eight launches maybe 10 because the app didn’t even have it on schedule. there also needs to be an option so you can just choose Cape Canaveral. I do not live in Virginia or New Zealand or China and do not care about those launches. I only want to know about the launches where I live, but there is no filter to choose just Cape Canaveral.

### 1/5 — How do I cancel this?

*2025-08-09, version 3.4.0*

I want nothing to do with Elon Musk so I don’t want this app anymore. Tell me how to delete it.

### 5/5 — Review from a Real Rocket Engineer

*2025-07-31, version 3.4.0*

This app is my favorite launch tracker. The user interface is exceptional, offering as much information as you wish to find, and as high level as you would want as well (just the launch schedule > mission details > nerd details). I especially love the card-style display that has images of the booster, pad, etc with more details when you tap to flip. I currently work in the field and often find Supercluster is the most up-to-date with launch schedules/slips.

I would love if Supercluster released a YouTube livestream or a TV app that scrolls through the launches like an airport flight schedule and autoplays the live launches. Bonus points if toggle-able by location, launch provider, and/or rocket (ex: New Glenn / Starship). Would allow someone to setup a screen TV as their passive launch-watcher.
