meet skybridge:
the brains of
the operation
SkyBridge transforms your compatible astronomical device into a powerful, always-ready node in the SkyMapper network. This compact, intelligent module manages alignment, data processing, and connectivity — then, when your device would otherwise sit idle, activates your device to monitor the sky for satellites, re-entries, meteors, and other fleeting events. Every observation is cryptographically verified and recorded with immutable provenance, creating trusted sky data that scientists and operators can rely on.
Skybridge turns your telescope
into
a global discovery station
While you sleep, your telescope can participate in real science missions, advancing astronomical research, helping researchers refine orbits and monitor space safely, powering SkyMapper’s science and product design, all while earning you credit for contributing to verifiable, impact-driven discovery.
Connect to the network
SkyBridge connects to a compatible astronomical device, managing alignment, data processing, and connectivity so it can join the SkyMapper network.
Control devices through SkyViewer
SkyViewer lets users view live feeds, access remote instruments, and request observations from their own or other connected telescopes and astronomical devices.
Earn credit for contributions
When connected devices are idle, SkyBridge can capture satellites, re-entries, meteors, and other transient events, helping users earn credit for verifiable contributions to the SkyMapper network.
