Usually when a service is intentionally sunset there's a notification that goes out giving folks notice, and in particular the offer to renew is not sent out as it's kind of pointless. No, I think this is just a process that got stuck, or there was a migration of some sort that missed one of the linkages.
I really prefer not to have yet another app on my phone.

Maybe they scaled back on this feature since there are so many other apps available. I like the "ISS Detector Satellite Tracker" app on my phone, that doesn't just give you notification on the ISS but many other objects and satellites.

Yeah, the notifications are still coming, but the "subscription" will expire (for me) in 30 days, so I'd like to renew. It's the renewal that seems to be broken.

My renewal failed a year ago with nothing being fixed with multiple attempts to renew. Seems to be an orphaned app at NASA.

Hi folks,
i got a yearly renewal notice for NASA's "Spot the Station" alert system, and filled out the form. Hitting submit I should have received an 8-digit confirmation code, but it never arrived. Tried it again a few days later. No joy. I suspect something's stuck on their end.
Any ideas who to contact?

p.s. Curious, who named the Space Station "Spot"?
