Have you ever wondered if any of the celestial objects you see in the night sky are satellites or even the International Space Station? With the GoSatWatch app you can determine where all satellites are currently located and even find the Space Shuttle as it flies on missions around the world. This truly remarkable app allows the user to get their exact location through their device’s GPS.

This information is then used to create custom maps indicating the location of any orbiting object available. The user can choose a world map view or they can opt for an overhead pass view to see when and where satellites and craft will be passing them. Additionally, the app indicates when any passing object is going to be visible from the ground below. There are also all kinds of other features to make this app more enjoyable and fun as well.

For instance a user can identify the tool bag lost from the International Space Station and watch it as it falls out of orbit and crashes back to Earth. A special favorites list gives regular updates of times and activities of orbit data, and the app also has star, sun and moon charts too.

There are many space atlases for iPhone and iPod Touch devices, but the GoSatWatch app is the only one that focuses specifically on man-made objects and their behaviors.

The cost for this app is $9.99 and it automatically updates all information whenever it comes into contact with a WiFi or network connection.

If you are an avid sky watcher hoping to add an entirely new element to your viewing hours this app is the perfect choice for you.
