Real-time Earth view cameras & International Space Station(ISS)Tracker

Have you seen the International SpaceStation?It is visible with the naked eye!This is the easiest way to spot the station.ISS Detector will tell you when and where to look fortheInternational Space Station or Iridium flares. You get an alarmafew minutes before a pass. You will never miss a pass oftheInternational Space Station and you will never miss thebrightflashes of the iridium communication satellites. ISS Detectorwillalso check if the weather conditions are right. A clear skyisperfect for spotting.Extensions will enhance the functionality of ISS Detector. Withanin-app purchase you can add comets and planets, amateurradiosatellites and famous objects, like the Hubble space telescopeorthe Chinese space station Tiangong.• Overview of the coming passes• Weather conditions for perfect sightings• Radar screen with path indication• Current location on a map• Detection of Iridium flares• Notifications and Alarms• Share sightings with whatsapp, twitter, gmail, email etc.• Automatic location and timezone detection• Widget• Dedicated tablet layoutAvailable Extensions (in-app purchase):Radio Amateur SatellitesTrack dozens of ham and weather satellitesFamous ObjectsTrack Hubble, X-37B, Fitsat, Tiangong and moreComets and PlanetsTrack planet and track comets as they come closer to earth.Perfectfor C/2011 L4 Panstarrs in March 2013 or C/2012 S1 ISON inNovember2013.ISS Detector combines data from Nasa,Heavens-above.com,minorplanetcenter.net and weather fromyr.no.

A giant cone of inner tubes stackedtogethermay someday help cargo, or even people, land on anotherplanet orreturn to Earth. NASA calls the spacecraft technology HIAD-Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator.Learn the challenges NASA faces as it works to developaninflatable spacecraft. Choose the right shape, materialsandtrajectory to use a HIAD to bring cargo back from space.To successfully guide an inflatable spacecraft through thesuperheat of atmospheric re-entry requires the right stuff. Ifyouinflate too early, your shape is incorrect or your materialisn’tstrong enough - you burn up. And if you get all that right andmissthe target the mission is a bust.Try your hand at landing a HIAD and become a rocketscientist.Advance through all stages at each of the four levels,collectingup to three stars for each successful landing.The HIAD game challenges players to successfully land aHIADafter launching from the International Space Station andarrivingat a target ground point on Earth. To successfully reachthetarget, players must:• Undock from the ISS and use thruster control to steerthespacecraft towards the desired de-orbit point• Inflate the HIAD aeroshell to reduce velocity and protectthepayload from the heat of atmospheric re-entry• Steer the inflated HIAD to the ground target prior toparachutedeployment, taking into account the prevailing winds• Customize the HIAD vehicle to achieve differentperformancecharacteristics to improve resultsFEATURES• Multiple spacecraft configurations and options• Speed and trajectory controls• In-game introduction• Four levels of engineering mastery• Locked levels• Scoring for each level• Help section• Links to related website

Visit kiosks at each asset to learn abouthowit fits into the future of space exploration and link totheprojects on the web. An aerial map is also provided to showNASAscience sites along the Black Point Lava Flow and sharethequestions geologists hope to answer during the outing.About Desert RATS:For 14 years NASA's Desert Research and Technology Studies(DesertRATS) analog has brought together scientists and engineersto testrobotic equipment, vehicles, habitats, space suits,communications,and power generation and storage in remote locationssimilar tofuture destinations in space. The teams evaluatemobility,infrastructure, and effectiveness in the harshenvironments, andconduct scientific studies similar to those thatwould be performedon the moon, near Earth asteroids, or Mars andits moons. Analogslike Desert RATS provide NASA with data aboutstrengths,limitations, and the validity of planned human-roboticexplorationoperations, and help define ways to combine human androboticefforts to enhance scientific exploration.

The ISS (International SpaceStation),completing one orbit around the earth every 92minutes,approximately.This application places the ISS on the map in real time.Calculate the orbit from the current time of device and TLEdata,which obtained www.celestrak.com.Green line is drawn 50 minutes before and after the currentpositionof the ISS.The user's position is marked with an android with the armheldhigh, surrounded by a semi-transparent red circle.The red circle indicates approximately the area where the ISSwouldbe visible by the user. That is, if the ISS is inside thecircle,in theory, you could watch it at the sky. Remember, NEVERLOOKDIRECTLY AT THE SUN!Internet access is used to obtain maps and update once a dayTLEdata. More zoom means more data traffic.From the preferences menu you can enable/disable automatictrackingon the map.The local time Can also be superimposed on the map.Visible Passes.Although you can get to see the ISS for the day is much easiertosee at night, because in the night sky is the secondbrightestobject after the Moon and before of Venus.But to be visible at night must be some circumstances:-The ISS must be illuminated by the sun, ie outside the coneofshadow of the Earth.-The sun must be at least 10 degrees below the horizon or, inotherwords, must have had at least 40 minutes before or must missmorethan 40 minutes to come out.-In its pass, the ISS must rise more than 5 degrees abovethehorizon. Less than 5 degrees is not visible by thedistortiongenerated by the atmosphere.From the main application window, pressing the menu key youcanselect "Visible Pass".From this screen we have the date, time and position of theobserverand a refresh button (circular arrow).Pressing the button proceed to calculate the visible pass forthenext 2 days (changeable in preferences screen).The result is a list of steps visible. Each step consists of:-Day and month.-Initial instant. Time, altitude in degrees, azimuth indegrees(cardinal point equivalent)-Instant of Maximum altitude. Time, altitude in degrees, azimuthindegrees (cardinal point equivalent)-Final instant. Time, altitude in degrees, azimuth indegrees(cardinal point equivalent)Alarms: You can on/off pressing alarm button (top-left icon).3D Locator.The locator uses accelerometer, the compass of the device andthecalculated data to show the position of the ISS on skyfromobserver's position.That is, when we moves the device to the sky shows a red triangleinthe position of the ISS and a green dotted line showing the​visiblepass.It also includes a positioning aid, based vibration:- Hold the device pointing to the horizon, turn on your feet soasto vary only the azimuth (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW). Whentheazimuth differs from the ISS in less than 10 ° there isavibration.- Now vary the altitude, vibration intensifies as it approachestheISS and will be greatest when the red triangle isdisplayed.- You can activate / deactivate the vibration by touchingthescreen.Notes:Altitude: The angle of a celestial object measured upward fromthehorizon of the observer. An object on the horizon has altitude 0°while one directly overhead the observer is 90 °.Azimuth: The direction of celestial object measured alongthedirection of clockwise from the northern horizon of theobserver.An object in the north has azimuth 0 °, east 90 °, south180 ° and270 ° westExtensions:If you like the app you can donate to developer fromExtensionsmenu.Thanks.
