Data and limits

Orbits from Space-Track.org (USSPACECOM); owners and missions from GCAT by Jonathan McDowell (CC BY 4.0); launches from Launch Library 2 (The Space Devs); conflict areas from UCDP (CC BY 4.0). Results show where satellites are and how their orbits changed, not what they are doing or why. Satellites whose orbits the US does not publish are not included. Every result names its sources and how old its data is.

Coordinates sent for passes reach this server, unlike overhead24.com where a location never leaves the device; they are used for that calculation only and never logged or stored. Requests are limited per address. Free software under the AGPL-3.0.
