Get the App

The Our Place in Space augmented reality app is now available on both Google Play and the Apple App Store. It’s going to augment your reality in ways you really didn’t expect!

  • Use the app to support your visit to the trail or experience it from anywhere on earth
  • Track your steps through the solar system, collect space souvenirs and upload a star to the ‘Universe of Us'
  • Learn all about our solar system on the way

Please note that the app is currently in beta, which means that some functionality may not be quite ready yet! We will continue to update the app regularly, so make sure you have the newest version downloaded.
