Satellite Chasers vs Space Station Passes

Satellite Chasers lets you explore the real satellite catalog from your phone, including active satellites, rocket bodies, debris, and newly added objects soon after launch. Point your phone at the sky in AR to see what is overhead, or explore satellites over the globe. Track satellites, launches, predicted decays, and conjunctions, which are close approaches between objects in orbit that may indicate potential collision risk. Features include: - Track tens of thousands of objects cataloged in Earth orbit - Use AR to see satellites overhead through your phone’s camera - Play SatSpot, a satellite pointing challenge where your aim determines your check-in points - Get notifications for predicted decays, conjunctions, launches, and newly added satellites - Search launches and see what flew together - Read space news connected to satellites, launches, and orbital activity - View satellite images, descriptions, radio/transmitter data from SatNOGS, and select NASA 3D models - Customize filters to show the satellites you care about - Check in with nearby satellites, earn points, and compete on leaderboards - Favorite satellites and organize your personal Orbit of friends Whether you are a space nerd, ham radio operator, sky watcher, or just curious about what is passing overhead, Satellite Chasers gives you a playful way to explore orbit in real time.

Know when to look up—and where to look. Space Station Passes helps you spot the International Space Station, Tiangong, and other satellites from your chosen location. Plan your next observation with pass forecasts, interactive sky charts, and reminders. • Find your next visible pass: See upcoming passes, their timing, and how high each satellite will appear above the horizon. • Follow the path across the sky: Explore interactive charts with stars, constellations, the Milky Way, and the Moon. • Know the key moments: Check when a satellite rises, reaches its highest visible point, and disappears from view. • Set a reminder: Schedule an alert for the pass you want to watch. • Explore beyond the space stations: Browse thousands of satellites, including bright satellites and recent launches. Explore the live planetarium in the Sky now tab. Search passing satellites, filter by distance or illumination, follow their paths, and report the brightness you observe.
