Pass Prediction Tools

This is a collection of tools to help you know when the next satellite passes are happening.

On the web:

On an Android:

  • ISS Detector – this is the one I use. It is the most full-featured one I have found. It also puts events in your calendar. $2.99 to track all the ham satellites.
  • Look4Sat – as good as ISS Detector but does not put events in your calendar.
  • ORBIT – this is a hosted open-source browser-based app. It could use some better documentation, but works very well.

On an iPhone:

  • ISS Detector – this is the one I use. It is the most full-featured one I have found. It also puts events in your calendar. $2.99 to track all the ham satellites.
  • GoSatWatch – well recommended. $9.99
