Orbitrack
Orbitrack is your desktop and pocket guide to the thousands of spacecraft orbiting our home planet.
For MacOS, iOS, and Android!
Double the Fun
Orbitrack for MacOS, iOS and Android is an advanced satellite tracking app. It features a database with thousands of spacecraft, plus augmented-reality and virtual-reality modes with voice commands.
Orbitrack includes every active orbiting satellite, plus space debris and rocket boosters large enough to be visible, and now includes classified military satellites.
Rich new graphics, written in the latest OpenGL and Metal APIs, show atmospheric effects, city lights on Earth's night side, and highly-detailed 3D satellite models.
Orbitrack predicts and displays Starlink satellite passes, and lists radio frequency data for amateur radio satellites.
Descriptions for hundreds of spacecraft have been updated. Every satellite now has a description from n2yo.com.
Orbitrack supports the latest Apple hardware and software, including iPhone X/11/12, iPad Pro, and iOS 14. The Mac version runs on MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later, with fully native support for both Intel- and Apple Silicon-based Macs.
And for phones, Orbitrack runs in stereo, with a new voice-controlled Virtual Reality mode compatible with any smartphone VR viewer!
Track thousands of satellites - in orbit and overhead!
Orbitrack will tell you when spacecraft pass overhead, show you where to find them in the sky, and let you track them across the planet. A new Augmented Reality (AR) Sky view blends video from your phone camera, GPS, and motion sensors to display satellites as they cross your sky!
Get the "Bird's" eye view
You can show the view from any satellite, and see the Earth from orbit just as the "bird" sees it! Orbitrack includes detailed 3D models for dozens of satellites - see them up close from any angle! If you have a smartphone VR viewer, you can see them in stereo. It's the most realistic spaceflight experience you can get without leaving the planet!
Stay on top of the space race
Fascinating mission descriptions will teach you about the International Space Station, and hundreds of other satellites in orbit. Orbitrack updates its satellite data from n2yo.com and celestrak.com every day. When new spacecraft are launched, maneuver into new orbits, or fall back into the atmosphere, Orbitrack shows you what's happening up there, right now.
Power and Simplicity
Orbitrack isn't just powerful – it's incredibly easy to use! You don't need an aerospace degree to become an expert satellite tracker. Orbitrack puts advanced capabilities at your fingertips, with the same intuitive touch interface you use every day. And if that's not enough, it includes detailed, built-in Help – and expert, responsive technical support.
