About this app

Overhead helps you see humanity in orbit.
Right now, two crewed space stations circle Earth: the International Space Station and China's Tiangong Space Station.
Overhead tells you when one of them will pass above your location — and, when the moment arrives, points you towards the exact part of the sky where you should look.
STEP OUTSIDE. LOOK UP.
Find upcoming visible passes from your location and see:
• When the station will appear
• How long it will be visible
• The direction to look
• Its maximum elevation in the sky
• Which station is passing overhead
When it's time to look, use the live sky pointer to guide you. Point your phone towards the sky and follow the arrow.
No telescope required. No complicated astronomy knowledge. Just step outside and look up.
TRACK CREWED SPACEFLIGHT
Overhead focuses on the space stations where people are actually living and working in orbit:
• International Space Station (ISS)
• Tiangong Space Station
As crewed stations come and go in the future, Overhead can grow with them.
SEE PEOPLE IN SPACE
The most remarkable thing about seeing a space station pass overhead isn't the spacecraft.
It's knowing that there are people inside it.
They're travelling around Earth at thousands of kilometres per hour, hundreds of kilometres above you — and for a few minutes, you can see them crossing your sky.
Overhead.
Look up. They're up there.

What’s new

Tiangong now has a YouTube link of its own — the CCTV+ China Space Station
channel — alongside the ISS live feed.

Fixed: setting an alarm for a single pass could produce two notifications
if alerts for all passes were also switched on.

Updated internal libraries.
