The Sky Is Crying
9 August 2010 by Revelator.
The International Space Station. Hubble. The space shuttle. Astronauts, taikonauts, and cosmonauts. They fly overhead more often than you think. All you need to know is when to look. “Satellite Flybys” turns your Android phone into an indispensable, field-tested satellite watching tool. It tells you when spacecraft are about to appear (with a countdown clock!) and which direction you should face. It also cuts through much confusion. There are tens of thousands of spacecraft and pieces of debris in Earth orbit. “Satellite flybys” tells you only about the most interesting and newsworthy objects. Satellite selections are made by Dr. Tony Phillips of spaceweather.com and the list of tracked objects is updated and changed as things happen in the night sky.
1. A one week look-ahead schedule of flybys.
2. Uses GPS to find your location. Or you can enter it manually.
3. Flyby alarms. You can set an alarm to let you know when a flyby is about to happen.
4. A flyby countdown clock. This really fun feature helps you know *exactly* when to look.
5. Pictures and detailed information on each tracked object.
6. Satellite list updated and maintained by experts.
Note: requires Android 1.6 or higher.
Note: For some reason AndroidZoom keeps reporting that the app is free. The price is $2.99.
Ain’t technology great? Actually this might be one of those times when technology is actually great. Can you see any uses for this handy, dandy app? I took my cool phone swimming with me at my birthday party so I can’t download this app to see which satalittes it may be tracking but I think that might be some pretty interesting information.
I’m not gonna get deep into the implications of such a device - I just wanted to put it out there for you just so you know.
Keep the Faith!
