Moonshot - Track the Artemis II mission from your Mac
by•
A macOS menu bar app built with SwiftUI that tracks NASA’s Artemis II mission in real time, showing mission phases, countdowns to key lunar flyby and return events, mission elapsed time, crew, live telemetry context, and a space-themed Earth-Moon-Orion timeline. Uses publicly available NASA mission data and timeline updates.

Very cool idea, perfect for space enthusiast people. Do you get it directly from their website?
Very cool, thanks for this! Mission updates right in the menu bar instead of constantly checking NASA's site is way better. Nice project.
this is actually pretty sick, didn’t expect a menu bar app to go this deep
how often does the data update btw? @aaronoleary
Love this. SwiftUI menu bar apps are such an underrated format — lightweight, always accessible, no context-switching. I'm building a Mac-native video editor with SwiftUI + Rust and the menu bar philosophy resonates: do one thing well, stay out of the way. The 'Flighty for space missions' direction sounds incredible. Congrats on the launch and good luck with splashdown!

this is sick,timeline visualisation is clean. I like space and artemis, how are you handling the live telemetry updates? polling or websockets? if you dont mind me asking , i sort of have an idea but yeah. I'm new to product Hunt , been seeing people's stuff in here , and some are actually tickling my brain
this is really cool — love that it's open source and built with swiftui. the earth-moon-orion timeline visual is a nice touch. curious how you're handling the telemetry data refresh... is it polling NASA's public APIs or is it manual updates? also wondering if you'd consider supporting future missions or keeping it artemis-only
Love that this is SwiftUI + open source + free. The whole thing is the right shape for a passion project small scope, clean purpose, one well-chosen platform. Bonus points for making the repo public so people can learn from how the telemetry context is wired up. More shipping like this, please.
Super niche but really cool execution.
Feels like a passion project done right.
