SPACE STATION TRACKER

By Science Gallery Dublin

Fifty years ago, a few minutes of blurry TV footage captivated the world as astronauts turned their cameras back on the Earth for the first time; nowadays, you can use simple devices like the unit displayed here to follow space stations and interstellar pioneers in real time as they work, play and explore in zero gravity.

The Space Station Tracker utilises the latest technology to keep you informed of where these interstellar pioneers are and so you can even wave up at them as they pass overhead.
