Satellite Chasers: A Comprehensive Satellite Tracking App
Satellite Chasers is a free Android app that allows users to track every satellite ever launched into orbit. Developed by Austin Griffith, this app is the only one with a database of all 50,000 objects tracked by the US Space Command. The app has a range of features that make it stand out from its competitors.
With Satellite Chasers, users can use their phone's camera and augmented reality to see satellites overhead. The app also allows users to find out when a satellite will be overhead and set reminders in seconds. Users can read space news articles and immediately find the satellites they mention. Additionally, users can see what each satellite looks like and read about why it was launched.
Satellite Chasers also has a leaderboard where users can check in with nearby satellites for points and compete against friends. Users can restyle a satellite's size and color by its origin, type, or individually. Additionally, users can see everything else a satellite was launched with and add friends from the leaderboard to form their own personal "Orbit." Users can also set which satellites are shown whenever the app is opened and favorite satellites to easily find them again later.
