OrbitAlert

OrbitAlert is a mobile + web app that sends practical, location-specific alerts about satellite passes, reentries, and notable orbital events—filtered to what actually matters to you. Instead of generic “ISS overhead” notifications, it focuses on risk and relevance: predicted reentry windows that could affect your region (with clear uncertainty ranges), unusual fragmentation events, and high-interest passes (Starlink trains, bright flares) when visibility is likely. It aggregates public orbital data, official notices, and reputable analyst feeds, then converts them into plain-language briefings with confidence levels. The app includes a simple sky-view map, a “what’s above me now” widget, and a weekly digest for space-curious users. This is not a space-tracking toy; it’s an information product optimized for clarity, speed, and trust, with paid tiers for higher-frequency alerts and API access.
