Description
BlueBird Spotter lets you follow AST SpaceMobile satellites in near real time using public Two-Line Element (TLE) data.
Built for AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) followers, space enthusiasts, and anyone curious about direct-to-cell satellite networks, the app combines live tracking, an interactive 3D globe, forecast tools, news, and plain-language context in one place.
What you can do:
- Track BlueBird satellite positions with updates up to 1 Hz
- Explore a 3D Earth globe with orbit paths, real-time lighting, and estimated coverage zones
- Use Time Machine to scrub and simulate satellite positions up to 48 hours ahead
- View a personalized coverage forecast for your location
- Set optional coverage alerts so you know when a satellite pass is coming up
- View current TLE data in a clean, readable format
- Stay up to date with the latest AST SpaceMobile news
- Learn how AST SpaceMobile and BlueBird satellites work in the in-app Info tab
- Personalize the experience with appearance, globe, forecast, and tracking controls
- BlueBird Spotter uses public orbital data and standard propagation models to estimate position and motion over time. Forecasts and coverage zones are estimates and may become less accurate as predictions extend further into the future.
