MyRadar is a weather app that includes Star Citizen moons and planets.[1]
MyRadar came out in 2008.[2] With NASA gathering imagery form Mars, ACME AtronOmatic LLC who makes the MyRadar app, took the Mars imagery to show it in their MyRadar app. With no reason not to apply this technology to artificial worlds, MyRadar reached out to CIG in 2017 to ask if they were interested in experimenting and using it for Star Citizen.[3][1]
Since Star Citizen Alpha 3.0, MyRadar takes the procedurally generated data for Star Citizen moons such as Yela or Daymar, and displays that data in the MyRadar app, allowing users to pan around the globe, zoon in and see specific landscapes and geographical features. Players can use it for example to find a good crater to park in or hide. It also has a section with detailed information on each moon, including its atmospheric composition, atmospheric pressure, the details of its orbit and more.[3] It takes MyRadar about 3 or 4 days to generate the data for each moon, which MyRadar aims to do every quarterly release when needed.[2]
On 2022-05-02, ACME AtronOmatic LLC launched the TRSI-2 satellite with the Star Citizen logo.
