About MissionClock
Keep up-to-date with space launches from NASA and other agencies around the world with MissionClock for your iPhone or iPod Touch.
MissionClock shows you a real-time countdown clock for upcoming missions, as well as information about missions that are currently underway. You can see major launch and ascent events as they happen, and receive alerts when mission conditions change.
Features:
• Gorgeous, at-a-glance countdown information
• T-clock and L-clock information
• Countdown holds
• Hold time remaining
• Current and significant event times displayed in multiple time zones
• Detailed mission event lists
• Time to/since each event
MissionClock’s main view shows the current time in three time zones (yours, UTC, and the mission’s). It shows the T-clock, including pauses for built-in launch holds, and the L-clock, letting you know how much real time remains before launch. For missions that have already launched, MissionClock will show you the Mission Elapsed Time (MET).
The MissionClock staff regularly compile space mission information from a variety of sources including contacts within NASA, and collect them on our servers. MissionClock is automatically updated with changes, so you stay informed.

1.1.5
Jun 4, 2020
This long-overdue update addresses cosmetic issues that came up with recent iOS devices and releases, and also fixes a bug that sometimes appears when network time correction fails. This would manifest as a rapidly-flashing alert that would prevent using the app.
This release sports substantial under-the-hood changes to support notched devices (like iPhone 11), and light and dark modes. The way push notifications are handled has been completely revamped, and should work better in newer version of iOS, as well as being faster to send from the server. Network time is now calculated differently, so if you notice any glaring issues with the accuracy of the displayed current time, please let us know!
These changes may have introduced unexpected issues. While this release has been thoroughly tested, there may be undiscovered bugs. Please contact us to report any issues.
Unfortunately, changes to properly support newer iOS versions mean MissionClock now requires iOS 9.0 or later to run. In addition, search no longer works
on iOS 9.

Oct 29, 2010
• This version of MissionClock brings a powerful new feature: Network Time Protocol (NTP) support. As it turns out, iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices can have wildly inaccurate system clocks. By using NTP to consult time servers on the Internet, MissionClock is able to compute just how far off the system clock is, and account for that in its calculations.
• Numerous minor stability improvements.

Now, a long-duration mission older than two weeks will not be included by default. You can still turn "Always Show Clock" on for any mission to force it to display.
• Completed missions used to show as "Underway." This has been corrected.
