Abstract
Muslims need to obey their obligation to perform their prayer regardless where they are, whether they are on the ground or in space. ln the future time, the opportunities to go into space is great, it becomes necessary to develop a prayer calculator that can determine the prayer times and the direction of Qib' lat or Ka'abah to aid the Muslims in performing their duty. Basically, celestial sphere or falaq is a mature subject. However, the condition in space is different. The calculation of prayer times and the direction of Qib' lat are extremely difficult due to the high velocity of the space vehicle, its orientation and the direction of travel. This project will develop software to determine the prayer times and the direction of Qib' lat for a spacecraft orbiting the Earth. The prayer times for any given location for a spacecraft orbiting the Earth may be determined mathematically if the latitude and longitude of the location are known. However, the theoretical determination of prayer times is a lengthy process. Using software development may alleviate much of this tedium.
