See satellites in real time through your phone's camera. Skylens overlays live satellite positions onto the sky above you — identifying the ISS, Starlink trains, and thousands of spacecraft as they pass overhead. No app download required.
Skylens turns your phone into a real-time satellite finder. Hold it up to the sky and watch as labelled markers appear where each satellite actually is — moving across your screen as they orbit Earth at 28,000 km/h.
Works in your browser. No download, no account, no cost. Just point and discover what's flying above you right now.
Open orbitalradar.com on any modern smartphone and tap the Skylens button. Allow camera and motion sensor access when prompted.
Hold your phone up toward the sky. Skylens reads your orientation and location to calculate which satellites are above you right now.
Labelled satellite markers appear on your live camera feed, moving in real time. Tap any marker for details — name, altitude, speed, and more.
A full AR satellite experience — no download required
Satellite markers track smoothly on your live camera feed as you sweep your phone across the sky. Positions update every second from live orbital data.
See a moving light in the sky? Tap Identify and point your phone at it — Skylens will match it to the nearest satellite and show you exactly what it is.
Scrub forward or backward in time to see where satellites will be — or where they were. Plan your next ISS sighting or replay a Starlink train that just passed.
Switch to a full-sky overhead view showing all visible satellites at once. See the bigger picture, then switch back to AR to find each one.
Get alerted when a satellite is approaching your line of sight. Audio cues escalate as the pass gets closer — so you never miss one overhead.
Tells you exactly when viewing conditions are best at your location — the window after sunset or before sunrise when satellites are illuminated against a dark sky.
Predicts when a satellite might flare brightly as sunlight reflects off its surface. Be ready for the brightest passes before they happen.
Red-shifted display that protects your dark-adapted vision. Essential for stargazers who don't want a bright screen ruining their night vision.
Capture your AR view with satellite labels overlaid. Save or share a screenshot of the sky above you with every satellite named and positioned.
An accessibility feature that lets you hear where satellites are. Audio cues pan left and right as satellites move across the sky — navigate by ear alone.
No camera? No problem. Skylens can run in compass-only mode using just your phone's motion sensors — satellite positions on a dark background.
When you find the ISS, see who's on board right now — crew names, mission roles, and how long they've been in space. Updated live.
