Orbit: ISS & Night Sky

MadMax Labs

About this app

Space is moving above you. Orbit helps you know where to look—and what happens next.

See where the International Space Station is now and when it may cross your sky. Plan tonight around the Moon, bright planets, and current space weather. Follow rocket launches with live countdowns and webcast links. Then point your phone upward to find stars, constellations, planets, the Moon, and the ISS in Live Sky.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Orbit has no account, ads, or analytics trackers. It does not use background location. Location-based sky information and ISS pass calculations happen on your device. Camera and sky-selfie features are optional, and Orbit does not automatically upload your photos.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IS LIVE

Orbit labels information as Live, Cached, Stale, or Unavailable. If a public source is delayed or offline, Orbit does not replace it with a convincing fake value.

Public feeds can be delayed, launch schedules can change, and sky guidance depends on your location, device sensors, calibration, and recent orbital data. Orbit is an educational planning tool, not a safety, navigation, or professional astronomy instrument.
