Satellite Tracker

Track 15,000+ satellites in real-time

Satellite Tracker gives you real-time orbital data and approximate positions for 15,000+ satellites. Track entire constellations — Starlink, GPS, military, weather, communications, and space stations — or look up any individual satellite by name or NORAD catalog number.

All the orbital data you'd normally need a specialist tool to access is here: position, altitude, velocity, inclination, orbital period, and drag coefficient. Browse satellite groups, search by name, and see what's been launched in the last 30 days.

What you can do

  • list_groups — see all 30+ satellite groups with descriptions and group IDs
  • track_group — get all satellites in a group with orbital data and approximate positions
  • search_satellites — find any satellite by name or partial name, with optional current position
  • satellite_info — full orbital parameters and current position for one satellite by NORAD ID
  • recent_launches — satellites launched in the last 30 days, sorted newest first

Who it's for

Space enthusiasts tracking satellites overhead, researchers studying constellation deployments, journalists covering space launches, developers building orbital awareness into applications, and anyone who wants to understand what's in orbit right now.

How to use it

  1. Start with list_groups to see what groups are available, or use search_satellites if you know the name of what you're looking for.
  2. Call track_group with a group ID like "starlink", "military", or "gps-ops" to see all satellites in that group with positions.
  3. Use satellite_info with a NORAD ID for detailed parameters on a single satellite — get the NORAD ID from search_satellites first.

Getting started

Call list_groups to see all available groups, then track_group with a group ID to start exploring — no setup required.

List Groups

List all available satellite groups — military, GPS, Starlink, weather, space stations, communications, science, and more. Returns group IDs to use with track_group.

Returns: All available satellite groups with descriptions and group IDs
Track Group

Get all satellites in a group with orbital data and current approximate positions. Groups include military, gps-ops, starlink, weather, stations, geo, and 25+ more. Use list_groups to see all options.

Returns: Satellites in the group with orbital data, orbit type classification, and approximate positions
Search Satellites

Search for satellites by name. Partial matches supported — searching "STARLINK" returns thousands, "ISS" returns the space station, "GPS" returns navigation satellites. Returns orbital data and NORAD IDs.

Returns: Matching satellites with names, NORAD IDs, orbit types, and optional positions
Satellite Info

Get detailed information about a specific satellite by NORAD catalog number. Returns full orbital parameters, current approximate position, orbit classification, drag coefficient, and data age. Use search_satellites to find the NORAD ID first.

Returns: Detailed satellite info with full orbital elements, position, velocity, and orbit classification
Recent Launches

Get satellites launched in the last 30 days. Shows the newest objects in orbit, sorted by launch date. Useful for tracking new deployments, Starlink batches, and military launches.

Returns: Recently launched satellites sorted newest first with orbital data

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I browse satellite groups before I search a specific craft?

Yes. `list_groups` shows the available groups, and `track_group` returns all satellites in one group such as Starlink, GPS, weather, or stations.

Can I search by satellite name?

`search_satellites` supports partial matches, so names like ISS, STARLINK, GPS, or COSMOS work well.

What does satellite_info add?

`satellite_info` gives the NORAD-based orbital parameters, approximate position, orbit classification, drag coefficient, and data age for one satellite.

Can I see recent launches?

`recent_launches` lists satellites launched in the last 30 days, sorted by launch date.
