Heavens-Above
Munich, Germany
What it is
Heavens-Above provides predictions and information for observing satellites and other objects in the sky. Its website lists 10-day predictions for selected satellites, daily predictions for brighter satellites, and passes for Starlink objects from a launch. A live sky view and interactive chart accompany information and charts for the Sun, Moon, planets, comets, asteroids, and constellations. The site also includes a 3D Starlink orbit display and an interactive 3D visualization of the ISS. The Android app offers pass predictions for the ISS, visible satellites, and radio satellites, along with a live sky chart, orbit and ground-track views, night mode, and an orientation-based tracker. Selected passes can be added to the device calendar. Predictions run locally, with a data connection needed only every few days, according to the app. The free plan is listed as free; Heavens-Above Pro costs $4.99, paid once and removes adverts from the Android app. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web. Its FAQ says predictions become less accurate the further their dates are from the present.
