SpaceTimer

SpaceTimer is a professional-grade, no-nonsense countdown tool built for space operations.

Designed with mission control teams in mind, it offers precise tracking of complex launch sequences and training simulations.

Privacy Policy

Import your full launch timeline — including event descriptions and mission elapsed time (MET) values — and anchor it to a specific T0 (launch time) in UTC. SpaceTimer automatically converts and displays key times in real-time, including:

• MET (Mission Elapsed Time)

• Current UTC

• Local time at Mission Control

• Local time at the Launch Site

Time zones and daylight-saving adjustments are handled automatically via an intuitive setup interface.

Key Features:

• Dual Countdown Display:

See both the time to launch and the countdown to the next scheduled event.

• Spoken Announcements:

Choose between audio beeps, a fully verbal countdown (including optional spoken event descriptions using iOS text-to-speech), or no sound at all—for crowded environments or shared spaces with multiple users. Voices are localized and customizable.

• Custom Pronunciations:

Supports acronyms and technical terms with a built-in pronunciation guide (also localised), which can be extended using a simple JSON file tailored to your event list.

• Import Timelines:

Download example timelines from www.GerSpatial.com/Apps/SpaceTimer/Downloads into the iOS Files app and import from there.

• Timeline Editing and Sharing:

View, edit, and export your countdown list directly within the app.

• Simulation Mode for Training:

Perfect for rehearsals. Set a simulated T0 to practice launch timelines without altering your actual mission schedule. For example, simulate a 13:57 UTC launch at 08:45 local time, keeping all original event offsets intact.

Also Great For:

• Space Enthusiasts:

Follow real or historical launches using authentic-style countdowns with spoken events and mission timing.

• STEM Educators and Students:

Use the simulation mode to create realistic scenarios for classroom learning or outreach demonstrations.

• Model Rocket Launches:

Run precise, multi-event countdowns with audible cues—even add your own custom event names and timing.

• Event Planning or Theatre Tech:

Use structured countdowns for complex shows or performances where timing multiple cues is critical.
