Satellites
Satellites is a macOS utility for tracking and visualizing satellite positions and trajectories in real time. It displays orbital data, predicts passes over specific locations, and helps users identify satellites visible from their current position. The app is used by astronomy enthusiasts, educators, space hobbyists, and anyone interested in tracking artificial satellites and observing their movements across the night sky.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find conclusive information about whether Satellites (us.kvasha.satellites) has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. The search results we gathered were about other satellite-related applications (TheSky Imaging, which is astronomy software with a native build, and Downlink, which tracks weather satellite imagery). To determine whether your copy of Satellites will continue to work after Rosetta 2 is removed in macOS 28 (September 2028), we recommend contacting the developer directly through their website or support channel to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned or already available. If the developer is no longer active or cannot confirm native support, you may want to explore alternatives like SkySafari or Heavens-Above, both of which are actively maintained and have confirmed Apple Silicon compatibility.
