View on Chrome Web StoreChrome will indicate if you already have this installed.
Overview
ISS Current Location Badge lets you track the International Space Station directly from the Chrome toolbar.
Features:
- Live toolbar badge showing ISS status
- Popup with the latest ISS latitude and longitude
- Compact map view of the current ISS position
- Optional use of your current location to estimate the next overhead pass
- Local pass prediction using TLE orbital data
- Diagnostic logs for visible troubleshooting
- Multi-language popup UI
How it works:
- The extension refreshes ISS position data in the background on a fixed interval
- It fetches orbital TLE data to estimate future overhead passes
- If you choose to allow location access, the extension uses your location only to calculate pass timing for your area
- Location access is requested only after explicit user action inside the popup
Data sources:
- Open Notify for current ISS position
- CelesTrak for orbital TLE data
- OpenStreetMap tiles for map display
Who it is for:
- Space enthusiasts
- Students and teachers
- Users who want a lightweight ISS tracker in Chrome
Notes:
- Overhead pass prediction depends on location permission and availability of TLE data
- If live data cannot be fetched, the extension falls back to the last cached state and shows a visible error status
- Some optional feedback features may send user-provided responses and related technical metadata only when the user explicitly chooses to submit feedback
