About this app

Looking for ISS Live?
How to see the International Space Station in your sky tonight?
Would you like to see the Earth from the International Space Station as astronauts see it? It is now possible to see Earth 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through the live transmission of the Space Station's cameras.

If you are a lover of space or astronomy, you will like ISS onLive.

ISS onLive offers you ISS live, the transmission of images of the Earth from the International Space Station by Nasa. You will also be able to experience the day-to-day life of astronauts watching them work inside the ISS.

This application integrates Google Maps to track the orbit of the ISS at all times and allows you to configure parameters such as the choice of different types of maps, satellite or terrain. It also shows telemetry information (speed, altitude, longitude, latitude), as well as the area of the country where the ISS is located. It also has a day/night map of the land with the limits of visibility from the ISS and the user.
In the drawing of the orbits, the visible steps of the ISS are shown in yellow. All this can be customized from the configuration menu of the application.

It has also been added to the Google Maps map the feature of "Map of clouds in the world" in Real Time. You will be able to add to the Google Maps map an extra layer for the visualization of the cloud map of the whole world. In this way you will be able to know the visibility status of the area of the Earth through which the ISS passes and observe it through the HD cameras of the ISS.

Live video transmissions available:

1.- ISS CAM 1 HD: provides HD High Definition images from our planet Earth.

2.- ISS CAM 2: provides views of our planet Earth and on-board cameras of the ISS Live as well as experiments, tests or maintenance and communications with the Nasa.

3.- Nasa TV Channel: NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Television Service. You can watch STEM programs and documentaries.

4.- Nasa TV Media Channel: A secondary Nasa tv channel.

5.- ESA TV: European Space Agency Live channel. With Science and Exploration programming and documentaries.

And eventual channels like:

SpaceX Live Transmissions: SpaceX Crew Dragon launch events.

Roscosmos TV: live when there is a Russian spacewalk.

You can also watch these channels live on your TV using Google Cast.


Would you like to see the International Space Station?
ISS on Live will inform you of the day and time of the International Space Station's visible night passage. Through a configurable alert you will be able to receive notifications of the following events:

Sunrise and sunset at ISS.

Visible pass over your region and Spot the Station: through the compass tool you will be able to know the exact place in the sky where the ISS will be visible to the naked eye and for how long.

Day pass: observe your country through the live retransmission of the cameras of the International Space Station.

ISS day pass in other countries: using the manual location tool, we will be able to know the ISS orbits over other regions of our interest and see their landscape through the cameras.

✓ Special events: arrival/departure of new crews (Soyuz, SpaceX Crew Dragon, Boeing CST-100 Starliner), spacewalks, launches (Falcon, SpaceX, Dragon, Progress, Cygnus, ATV, JAXA HTV Kounotori), dockings/undokings, experiments, communications with Earth from NASA and Roscosmos (Pockocmoc).

Interesting, facinating and informative. I am really pleased with the app. I like being able to listen to the crew talk to mission control. I would like if they had details of the ISS, like measurments, pictutes, square footage and so on. I love that I can take screen shots. I wish they had a schedule of when the crew would be "on duty" so I didn't have to guess.

I Wish we had more of a heads up then just 5 mins but still a cool app. I got to see with my own two eyes at 3-4am the solar panels turning and reflecting the suns light at the right time. It was amazing to see. I wouldn't have known what I was looking at or even gotten see something like that if it wasn't for this app telling me where to look. It was really special. It was so fast but so clear and just really amazing to see that with my own eyes. I hear it's rare to see as well. Just awesome.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The tracking of the space station is highly accurate and the feature I use most often. Watching the live feeds from the space station as it fly's over is a beautiful site to see. There's a front view and a rear view. You can also record and save your own videos, as well as take photos. Both features are within the app and can be saved directly to your phone. When lining up the path, the top part of your phone will point in the direction the ISS will be traveling.

It's a great app, the map and route of the ISS is easy to understand ; I really like the camera at the bottom of the screen and how you can switch cameras to view at different angles. I also like that they tell you the sunrise and sunset time for the space station and tell you when any special events are going to happen. I LOVE the information panel, it tells you what each element means and etc so I don't have to explain it to my family( yes I'm too lazy to) Over all I love app it is great.

Love the app! It's not only educational for me, but now I've got my grandkids interested as well. I've even got some friends hooked!! (younger and old!) the only 2 complaints I have are #1) It drains my phone battery really fast (it's a new phone) and #2) you only give 5 minutes notice before it will be passing. I'm disabled so by the time I get outside to see it, it's gone. Can you give a 10-minute heads up? please? Regardless, thank you, and keep up the good work!!

Works as advertised! I like this app a lot. Easy to use and understand (although I sometimes get confused about telemetry), it's easy to get help to better understand it. I've had this app on several phones and tablets since 2015 and have never had any trouble using it.
