Satellite AR for Android allows you to see the satellites above your head

I always wondered what was happening in the sky above my head. I was satisfied with the application still Sky Map from Google, allowing you to see planets, stars and constellations in real time. And recently I came across a very interesting application Satellite AR by Analytical Graphics. Now, in addition to the night sky, it is possible to see more and satellites in augmented reality mode.

After starting the app allows you to select the types of objects to display. Of course, immediately wanted to see everything that is in the sky, but as warned the manufacturer, this mode causes not weak performance hit, so I had to return to the main menu and select the specific types of satellites display.

On website Developer present detailed description of the symbols used in the satellites and display their trajectories. Of the main functions is to provide opportunity to get detailed information about each satellite, which you see on the screen. To do this, simply click on the image on the screen. If you are interested in a specific satellite, you can use the search by name to see it on the screen.

The most interesting thing will be to test the application on a clear night, including the display of potentially visible objects. Often seen moving lights in the night sky? Now you should be able to determine whether this object satellite. But for fans of the theory of general surveillance is useful to know which satellites are currently being watched and whether to hide from them.
