For anyone who has ever gazed up at the night sky and wondered about the mysteries of the universe, witnessing the International Space Station pass overhead can be an awe-inspiring moment. The Spot the Station mobile app is designed to notify users when the space station is visible overhead from their location. It aims to broaden access and awareness of the station and NASA globally, by providing users with an opportunity to experience the wonder of the space station firsthand. The realization that there are human beings living and working in that tiny dot, orbiting the Earth at a mind-boggling speed of 17,500 miles per hour, is breathtaking. The app includes several helpful features including: 1. 2D & 3D real-time location views of the station 2. Upcoming Sighting Lists with visibility data 3. Augmented Reality (AR) view with compass and trajectory lines embedded into the camera view 4. Up-to-date NASA space station Resources & Blog 5. Privacy Settings 6. Push Notifications when the station is approaching your location.

* Fixed an issue with the station trajectory lines on 3D maps and AR View: the algorithm is now better handling cases when trajectory points are not evenly distributed in NASA files, during orbit raising maneuvers or dockings.
* Updated the algorithm for calculating the upcoming sighting opportunities, so that the minimum height above horizon is changed from 10 to 5 degrees to include more sightings. Users can still filter the upcoming sightings according to the Max Height dropdown menu (default > 5) on the Upcoming Sightings page, accessible from the Home page.
* Modified default entry to the AR View page to not be in full-screen mode, added the station direction circle in default window mode, changed full-screen toggle icon to be more intuitive.
* Changed the Past Sightings page so that the past sightings list are sorted with the most recent sightings at the top of the list and the oldest sightings at the bottom of the page.
* Updated the answers to some of the questions and added search functionality to the Frequently Asked Questions page under Resources.
* Updated the Tutorial for the Home page according to the latest UI changes.
* Modified the Contact Us page to encourage users to include a description of the issue, along with the selected location and date+time of the station sighting opportunity, so that our support team can better reproduce and diagnose reported issues.
* Fixed a bug with the camera-access safety reminder popup window on the AR View page that was not allowing scroll-down to dismiss.
* Updated third-party libraries to patch security vulnerabilities and improve overall app safety.
* Other bug fixes and third-party software maintenance updates.
