OrbitLog: Space Tracker Hub1.0.7 - App Store

Turn your device into a complete space command center.

EarthGaze puts the entire sky in your hands. Point your phone up and watch planets and stars snap into focus, oriented live to exactly where you're pointing. Track the ISS, Tiangong, and Hubble across a spinning 3D Earth. Catch a rocket launch the second it lifts off. Get an aurora alert before anyone else in your neighborhood looks up. This is mission control, reimagined for your pocket.

Built with a clean style inspired by real mission control dashboards, EarthGaze brings together ten distinct tracking layers into one app.

KEY FEATURES

STARGAZE - LIVE NIGHT SKY VIEWER
Point your phone at the sky and watch it come alive. StarGaze tracks the Sun, Moon, planets, and bright stars in real time as you move - tap anything you see for its exact position, brightness, and distance, plus whether you'll need the naked eye, binoculars, or a telescope to spot it tonight. A guided arrow walks you straight to any target. Check tonight's moon phase, true dark-sky window, and a live observing-conditions briefing before you even step outside - then plan ahead with a full 7-day sky outlook.
3D ORBITAL POSITION RADAR
Monitor the International Space Station (ISS), the Tiangong Space Station, and the Hubble Space Telescope on a fully interactive 3D virtual Earth, with live trajectory lines showing exactly where each one is headed next. Use the live target selector dock to focus the camera and smoothly track any of the three across continent and ocean grids in real time.
LIVE SATELLITE TRACKER
See exactly when satellites like Starlink trains and the International Space Station (ISS) will fly over your house. The app finds your location automatically, but you can also type in your city manually if you prefer.
GLOBAL LAUNCH CALENDAR
Access a complete schedule of upcoming rocket launches from SpaceX, NASA, Rocket Lab, and agencies worldwide. Tap any flight to view the vehicle type, launch pad location, destination orbit, and live status updates.
LIVE COUNTDOWNS & STREAMS
Watch real-time countdown clocks tick down to the exact second of liftoff, and access direct links to live video streams straight from the launch screen so you never miss a launch.
GEOMAGNETIC AURORA ALERTS
Track the global Kp-index and view your immediate local aurora visibility chance in plain English. A dynamic briefing system evaluates active weather data alongside solar storm metrics to tell you exactly when conditions are optimal to look up.
HUMANS IN SPACE ROSTER
See who is currently living off-planet. View a live count and detailed list of every astronaut currently in orbit, with real photos and nationality, organized by whether they are stationed on the International Space Station or the Tiangong Space Station.
NEAR-EARTH OBJECT TRACKER
Monitor deep space activity with an updated tracking list for passing asteroids. Tap any record to inspect close-approach distances and flyby velocity calculations.
METEOR SHOWER CALENDAR
Track upcoming annual meteor shower peak dates. The app calculates optimal observation windows shifted directly to your location so you know exactly when to look up.
EARTH WATCH
Browse live NASA satellite imagery of Earth, updated throughout the day - jump straight to today's shot nearest your own location, or explore anywhere else on the planet.

Also new: Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus a Live Activity that shows your next launch or pass counting down in real time - right on your Lock Screen, no need to open the app.

LOCALIZED TO YOU
Every satellite pass, launch time, meteor shower peak, and sky position is calculated and personalized to your exact local time zone and physical location - nothing generic, everything pointed straight at your patch of sky.

Real orbits. Real skies. Real time. Download EarthGaze today.

Version History //v1.0.7
- Way more satellites to spot - More real passes show up overhead.
- New mission info for over a dozen more satellites and probes - tap into details and you'll get a real country/launch-year/what-it-does backstory instead of "unknown."
- Smarter notifications - if you haven't starred any satellites, alerts now default to just the well-known ones (ISS, Hubble, Starlink, etc.) instead of every satellite in the sky, so you won't get flooded.
- Cleaner notification text - launch, pass, and meteor shower alerts are easier to read at a glance on the lock screen.
- Star Gazers now auto-refreshes - pull to refresh anytime, and it quietly updates itself every 5 minutes while you're on that tab.
- Ask Siri - "Hey Siri, when's the next pass?" or "what's worth watching tonight?" now work straight from OrbitLog's tracking data. (Ready and only for iOS 27!) 1.0.7 Sep 16 //v1.0.6 EarthGaze is here — our biggest update yet.

New: Earth Watch tab — live NASA satellite imagery of Earth, updated throughout the day. Browse today's shots or jump straight to the one nearest you. Pinch to zoom, drag to pan.

New: Widgets & Live Activities — add EarthGaze to your Home Screen or Lock Screen to see your next launch or satellite pass at a glance, with a live countdown when it's close.

New: Custom notifications — get alerted before launches, satellite passes, and meteor showers individually, with your own lead time. Star your favorite launch providers and satellites to only hear about the ones you care about. Quiet hours included.

New: Hubble joins the orbital tracker — now tracking the ISS, Tiangong, and Hubble together on the live 3D globe, which you can now expand to full screen.

Real astronaut profiles — photos, nationality, and time in space for everyone currently aboard, replacing placeholder crew data.

Customize your dashboard — reorder your Home Command channels (missions, satellites, asteroids, meteor showers) to put what matters most up top.

Share launches, passes, and asteroid flybys straight from the card.

Live Sky mode fix — the info card now correctly locks onto planets and named stars anywhere inside the reticle, instead of occasionally grabbing a nearby background star.

Plus: launches now stay on your dashboard for 48 hours after liftoff, clearer and more honest location handling (no more silent fallback location), a more transparent ad-free flow, accessibility improvements throughout, and a fixed toolbar title on iPhone. 1.0.6 Sep 10 Fixed a bug where the Live Sky Map could open empty (no stars or planets) if launched too quickly after opening the app
