Starlink satellite tracker

satellitemap.space provides real-time satellite tracking and visualization for various internet constellations, including Starlink, SpaceX, Kuiper, and GPS satellites. The platform leverages modern WebGL visualization for enhanced performance, allowing users to explore live satellite positions on an interactive map. It aims to offer a comprehensive view of global satellite activity and related information.

The website is continuously evolving with new features on the horizon. These include tracking orbital decay and reentry predictions (TIPS), locating satellite trains, providing Starlink country availability, and offering a satellite 'point-of-view' mode. Future updates will also cover historical data like mean semi-major-axis altitude, per-satellite information, transit finders for Sun and Moon, Ku band interference predictions, enhanced ground station data, and constellation growth tracking. Additionally, users can anticipate key event logs, a latency calculation tool, and a news summary feature.

Developed by clovellysoftware.com.au, this platform is built upon a robust stack of core libraries and frameworks. Key technologies include TWGL.js for WebGL, Astro for the framework, Tailwind CSS and Flowbite for styling, and OpenResty for the web platform. Orbital mechanics and satellite data rely on satellite.js for SGP4/SDP4 calculations, Skyfield for high-precision celestial calculations, and Space-Track.org for official TLE data. These components ensure accurate and dynamic satellite tracking.
