Planetaria vs Vision Satellites

Explore the celestial worlds of the Solar System with Planetaria, an interactive 3D simulator experience for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. This dynamic scale model of the Solar System synchronizes with real-time data to display the live positions of celestial bodies in their orbits, along with beautiful and detailed 3D models of their surfaces. On your journey through outer space, you can visit the Sun, the 8 planets, 5 dwarf planets, and over 20 major moons. Entire worlds await your discovery, each with their own individual features and environments. You can also fast-forward or rewind time, and see what the Solar System looks like at any time in the past or future. Photos and 3D models provided by NASA/JPL.

Vision Satellites brings Earth’s orbit into your space. Explore an interactive 3D globe surrounded by thousands of satellites orbiting Earth in real time. Every position is propagated from current orbital data, so what you see tracks reality as closely as possible — Starlink, OneWeb, the ISS, weather and Earth-observation satellites, rocket bodies, and more. With Ground View you can look up from your own location and see what is passing above you right now. And with built-in pass alerts you pick any place, choose a satellite, and get notified the moment it climbs high into your sky — search any city or use your current location, set how high it must rise, mute alerts when you want, and limit them to certain hours. Mark your favorites to keep them one tap away. Filter by satellite type, orbit, the geostationary television fleet, or just your favorites. Tap any satellite for its live details — altitude, speed, orbital period, inclination, ground point, and the next time it flies over you — and switch on an orbit path to see exactly where it is headed. Follow upcoming rocket launches from NASA, SpaceX and other providers, each with its rocket, launch site, schedule and a live countdown. Open a launch for the full briefing — and explore a detailed 3D model of the rocket you can spin, take full screen, or place in your room in AR. Home Screen and desktop widgets bring it all outside the app: your favorites with live position and next pass, what is overhead right now for a location you choose, or a single satellite of your choice. The app is made for anyone interested in spaceflight, satellite technology, astronomy, Earth observation, or beautiful spatial visualizations. Available for Apple Vision Pro, iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
