Satellite Visibility is an iPhone and iPod Touch app that displays daily predictions for when satellites will be visible for any location. This includes all satellites bright enough to be seen with the naked eye including the International Space Station, and the Hubble Space Telescope. It can display a chart of the whole sky, or a more detailed chart showing the path of the satellite across the sky.

Available in the iPhone App Store

25/02/2012 - Several people have reported a problem to us where the app can't find any Satellite passes. We've tracked the problem down to some changes made yesterday to the Satellite Passes page of the Heavens-Above.com website. An update will be released shortly to work around the problem. In the mean time, you can still view the ISS passes on the Heavens-Above.com website with a web browser.
25/03/2012 - An update that fixes this problem is now available for download.

Superb!!! 5 Star 50x10.png

This App is simply superb.

A HUGE APOLOGY to the developers for my previous review saying you could not view beyond mid evening. I have just found an option in the settings to view up to a week!!

I highly recommend this App to all as it is top notch, useful and accurate. Definitely a 5 star App *****

I've been tracking satellites since the days of pulling off TLEs from a BBS. Downloaded this program yesterday and gave it a whirl last night. It's very accurate and user friendly. Well done!

I saw the ISS fly overhead at -3.3 magnitude tonight and it was awesome! This app may not have everything but for showing 10 year olds something they expected to be lame, they're now totally stoked on the heavens and want to see more.


Geeky but great!! 5 Star 50x10.png

I love this application emoticon

I've always liked looking up at the stars on a nice clear night, but this gives an actual reason to spot something too!

Just watched the International Space Station fly over even though it was pretty cloudy - it's so bright!!


Excellent app 5 Star 50x10.png

First class application. Lists all visible sats over 24hr period with very accurate countdown timer and star maps to aid viewing. Just seen STS128 & ISS. Far better than ISS Viewer.
