Welcome to Sattrack

Sattrack is a Python package that allows usres to compute various satellite position data in a simple way. This is a simple online interface of the package, which enables both a nice graphic interface, and the ability to use Sattrack wherever you have an internet connection, without needing to run Python yourself.

Sattrack is useful for both novices, who want to see then next time the space station will pass overhead, and more knowledgeable users, who may want to quickly find a specific data value for a recently launched satellite.

Satellite Passes

Find overhead satellite passes.

  • Includes detailed events such as maximum altitude and the moment a satellite appears and disappears.
  • View direction and altitude angles for significant pass events.

Satellite Predictive Tracking

View satellite position data predictions.

  • View positioning data derived from state vectors computed via SGP4/SDP4 algorithms.
  • Shows ground track, state vectors, oscillating orbital elements, and more.
  • Data in multiple reference frames.
  • Uses current two-line element sets for accurate results.

Set User Position

Some of the data created by Sattrack is dependent on a user's reference frame. All time data also needs to be corrected by the user's current timezone offset. This information can be set here, so that Sattrack can use it when it needs, and it won't need to be manually set every time you visit this site.
