Satellite tracker: live satellites in orbit
Earth Live computes where satellites are, second by second, from their published orbits, and draws them on a 3D globe. Tap one to see its altitude, speed, orbit and path.
How positions are worked out
Satellite orbits are published as orbital elements, updated several times a day. Earth Live downloads them from CelesTrak and propagates every orbit with the SGP4 model in your browser, so positions are accurate to within a few kilometres for low orbits.
Which satellites can you see?
Open any place to see which space stations and bright satellites are above its horizon right now, how high and in which direction, and which may be visible with the naked eye (lit by the sun while your sky is dark). Operator adds the full Starlink constellation, the geostationary belt and everything launched in the last 30 days.
