BlueBird Spotter

BlueBird Spotter lets you follow estimated AST SpaceMobile satellite positions, explore their orbits on an interactive 3D Earth, and discover how BlueBird satellites work.

Built for AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) followers, space enthusiasts, and anyone curious about direct-to-cell satellite networks, the app brings tracking, forecasts, interactive satellite models, news, and plain-language explanations to iPhone and iPad.

What you can do:

- Follow estimated BlueBird satellite positions
- Explore a 3D Earth with orbit paths, real-time sunlight, and estimated coverage zones
- Inspect Block 1 and Block 2 satellite models in 3D, with interactive guides to their parts and systems
- Compare three community-sourced BlueBird design concepts and choose which appears on your globe
- Use Time Machine to explore predicted satellite positions up to 48 hours ahead
- View a personalized coverage forecast and set optional alerts for upcoming estimated passes
- Follow a selected coverage pass with a Live Activity on supported devices
- Browse orbital elements and NORAD catalog IDs, including six-digit IDs
- Read AST SpaceMobile news and keep an eye on ASTS with the optional stock ticker
- Learn about AST SpaceMobile and its satellites in the Info tab
- Personalize appearance, globe, forecast, and tracking settings

About the data:
- BlueBird Spotter uses public Orbit Mean-Elements Message (OMM) data from CelesTrak and standard SGP4 propagation models to estimate satellite positions and motion. It does not receive live satellite telemetry.
- Forecasts and coverage zones are estimates and may become less accurate farther into the future. They do not establish actual mobile-service availability.
- BlueBird models illustrate community-sourced design concepts and are not confirmed spacecraft designs.
