## Description

SpaceStationAR is an augmented reality (AR) app that overlays satellite passes onto the real night sky. See the ISS, Starlink trains, and other satellites, as well as stars, galaxies, and city directions, through your iPhone or iPad camera with maps, celestial charts, and global orbit data.

Key features include AR passes, offline usage, a two-week calendar of upcoming passes and launches, an Apple Watch app, and a Today widget. Night Observation Mode reduces eye strain, and the app can forecast atmospheric re-entries (beta). The Lite version restricts AR, runs ads, and the paid version unlocks real-time AR and more.
