Dottie Board

Space & ISS Board

Bring orbit-scale awareness indoors — ISS position, crew counts, launch windows, and object tallies rendered with colours you choose.

Highlights

What you can surface

  • ISS ground track and overhead proximity
  • Crew on station
  • Upcoming launches with countdown styling
  • Object counts when you want the bigger picture

Make it yours

Set observer latitude and longitude for pass geometry.

Tune colours for ISS, countdowns, crew counts, and tallies so the board fits your space.

Who it's for

  • Amateur astronomers tracking ISS passes overhead.
  • Classrooms, planetariums, and STEM workshops as a "this is happening now" prop.
  • Space-obsessed bedrooms and offices that want a quiet ambient orbit feed.
  • Launch-day watch parties with a live countdown front and centre.

Frequently asked questions

How does the ISS overhead alert work?

Set your observer latitude and longitude in settings. As the ISS approaches your sky, the board shifts to your chosen warm colour so the cue is unmissable.

Does it cover Starlink and other satellites?

The default surface is the ISS, crew, launches, and aggregate object counts. Per-satellite tracking sits outside the current Space board scope.

Can I show multiple launches?

The board surfaces upcoming launches with countdown styling rather than a full schedule.
