TRACKING THE #ISS, #ASTROCRAFTS AND MORE...

Issued by Astronomers Without Borders

The last few weeks and months have seen a lot activity when it comes to launches into space, especially when it comes to the new SpaceX Dragon Crew capsule and Starlink constellation of communication satellites. if you stare at the sky for more than a few minutes on any clear night you are guaranteed to see at least one or two satellites passing overhead.




And if you are an astrophotographer, it’s more important then ever to know when and where the brighter ones pop into view, like the Starlink satellites, so they don’t potentially ruin your night sky photo session.

Until June 7, 2020, 50% of all sales of the hottest satellite-tracking tool, the Orbitrack app, will be generously donated to Astronomers Without Borders in support of our global STEM outreach programs.

Priced at only $4.99 (US), this unique, yet highly affordable mobile app for both Android iOS/MacOS devices is the perfect pocket guide to thousands of satellites in orbit around Earth including the International Space Station, Space X Crew Dragon Capsule, and the newest batch of Starlink satellites.




Also check out our special Facebook Live about how to watch the International Space Station, Starlink sats as we have a conversation with Orbitrack app developer Tim DeBenedictis.
