Astro Radar

Watch launches with friends on Astro

Astro Radar finds the launch. Astro is where you plan to watch it with your friends.

What Astro is

Astro is the group chat that actually makes plans: see who is free and turn it into a plan in one tap. It is private: your crew, in one star system, with no public feed. Plans have RSVPs, and friends without the app can RSVP from a link.

No download needed: Astro works in the browser on any phone, and you can add it to your Home Screen. It is in private beta, and Astro Plus is free during the beta. Astro is for people 18 and older.

How it works with Astro Radar

  1. 01Pick a launchPress Share to Astro on the radar, a launch page or the list below. Astro opens in a new tab.
  2. 02Sign in to AstroIf you are not signed in, Astro asks you to, then brings you back to the same launch.
  3. 03Send it to a chatAstro posts the launch's name, its time in your time zone and its Astro Radar link as a message.
  4. 04Or make it a planAstro opens a new plan called Watch and the launch's name, with the day and time filled in, for a group or a friend.

A plan needs a launch time still to come. Launch times move: if a launch slips, the plan keeps the time it was made with, so check the launch on Astro Radar before you go and change the plan if it moved. The radar has the latest time, the official webcast and whether you could see it from your ZIP code.

What Astro gets from Astro Radar

Only what the link carries, and only when you press it: the launch's name, its time and its Astro Radar link. Astro Radar has no accounts and sends Astro nothing else; your ZIP code, reminders and settings stay in your browser (see Privacy). What happens in Astro is covered by Astro's own privacy policy and terms.
