The Challenge | Set Your Sights High!

NASA builds and operates numerous satellite and airborne missions that deliver critical measurements and data to the world’s science community. Your challenge is to develop a tool that enables people to identify NASA satellites and satellite instruments as they fly over their locations on Earth. Help people explore the data and applications coming from the instruments overhead!

Motivation

Have you ever been satellite watching? If the answer is yes, then you know that satellites orbiting the earth are difficult to see without knowing where they are and when they will pass above you. If the answer is no, this hobby just got way simpler for you! To bring awareness to NASA and space satellites, we have made a website that gives you the list, position and times when a satellite with pass above your head.
