🚀 ATLAS ORBITER™: The First Handheld NASA Data Space Tracker — Now Making Headlines

 

The future of personal space exploration has arrived.

ATLAS ORBITER™, created by Tyrone M. Sanders of House of the QR Code, is a groundbreaking handheld device that lets anyone visualize real-time orbital data straight from NASA’s JPL Horizons system.
This mission-style instrument brings the excitement of astronomy, comet tracking, and orbital mechanics directly into your hands.

Recently featured on KRON 4 News, ATLAS ORBITER™ is quickly gaining attention from space educators, planetariums, and science enthusiasts across the country.

⭐ What Makes ATLAS ORBITER™ Special?

ATLAS ORBITER™ uses live NASA ephemeris data to display:

  • Real-time orbit visualization

  • Elevation and azimuth

  • Brightness/magnitude indicators

  • Starfield and HUD overlays

  • Mission-style graphics inspired by NASA spacecraft displays

Built on ESP32 hardware, the device pulls data over Wi-Fi and renders a clean, cinematic orbital simulation — all inside a compact handheld unit.

This makes ATLAS ORBITER™ perfect for:

  • Planetarium pre-show and post-show education

  • Museums and visitor centers

  • STEM classrooms

  • Amateur astronomers

  • Comet watchers and space fans

  • NASA gift shops and science retailers

⭐ Why It Matters

Space education is changing.
People don’t just want to read about comets — they want to see the orbit, track it, and hold the mission in their hands.

ATLAS ORBITER™ bridges the gap between professional astronomy tools and everyday learners.
It’s a new category: a personal NASA-data space tracker designed for the public.

⭐ What’s Next?

The ATLAS ORBITER™ project continues to expand with:

  • A full media kit

  • NASA gift shop submission packet

  • Planetarium outreach packet

  • YouTube demos and educational content

  • Upcoming collaborations with Bay Area science institutions

If you're a planetarium, science center, educator, museum, or NASA retailer, you’re invited to connect.
