INTRODUCING ORBIT

A new dimension of context.

Move beyond the surface. Explore satellites around Earth in a dedicated 3D observatory, with modeled altitude, selectable orbital trails and time controls.

01 / Perspective

From Earth to orbit.

Rotate and zoom around Earth. Explore space stations, weather satellites, Earth observation, navigation and communications catalogs. Search by satellite name or NORAD identifier.

02 / Time

Watch the model move.

Pause, accelerate playback or explore a six-hour window in either direction. Select an object to inspect its altitude, speed, element epoch and predicted orbital trail.

03 / Control

Your globe. Your layers.

Enable or disable station-catalog ground projections on the event globe. Open the dedicated Orbit view for altitude-aware exploration, then return to your event filters.

04 / Provenance

Know what you are seeing.

Positions are SGP4 predictions from CelesTrak public orbital elements, not live spacecraft telemetry. Shared catalogs are refreshed on demand no more than once every two hours. Elements older than seven days are excluded.

Satellite tracking does not provide satellite imagery, prove an object observed a location, or establish sensor coverage. Maneuvers and aging elements can affect accuracy. Catalog coverage is selective, with a display limit of 800 objects per category.
A wider view. A clearer next step.

Your next investigation
starts with context.
