Orbital Traffic — live 3D satellite tracker

Orbital Traffic plots 19,000+ satellites, space stations, spacecraft and near-Earth asteroids on a real-time 3D globe. Orbital positions are propagated on your own device from continuously refreshed orbital data — nothing about where you are or what you look at is ever transmitted.

The globe itself needs JavaScript and WebGL, which are currently switched off in this browser. Read what Orbital Traffic does, or get the free iOS app.

What it tracks

Space stations — the ISS and China's Tiangong, module by module.
Crewed capsules and cargo freighters — Dragon, Soyuz, Starliner, Shenzhou, Progress, Cygnus and Tianzhou, followed from launch through docking to landing.
Constellations — Starlink, OneWeb, Kuiper, GPS and Galileo, each as its own orbit class.
Science and observation satellites — Hubble, weather and Earth-observation craft, with hand-written profiles on the notable ones.
Near-Earth asteroids — plotted on their real heliocentric orbits, with close-approach dates.
Debris — the tracked fragments sharing those orbits.

What's Overhead

Orbital Traffic can narrow all 19,000+ objects down to the handful worth looking up for: the notable satellites and stations passing high above your own location at this moment, ranked by how far above the horizon they are. The calculation runs entirely in your browser.
