SatConst Orbital Tracker / Astronomy Engine

Welcome! This tool lets you explore live satellite orbits in interactive 3D.

🔹 Data

Source: CelesTrak — Two-Line Element (TLE) sets

Update: On Cloudflare deploys, TLE data is served from server-side KV/cache refreshes. Local development can still use temporary browser cache for testing. The average TLE age is the orbital epoch age, not the cache pull time.

Accuracy: Positions are computed with the SGP4 model — real satellites may drift slightly due to maneuvers or drag

🔹 Controls

Mouse / Touch: drag to rotate, scroll/pinch to zoom, right-drag to pan

Hover: show orbit + satellite details

Idle Spin: toggle the automatic idle Earth rotation from View Controls

Click: select / deselect a satellite

Alt + hover Earth: view local time under cursor

Double-Alt: pin a ground-track pass

Esc: clear pins or close panels

Astronomy Engine: focus a planet, choose a target obscuration in Astronomy Engine Controls, then Ctrl-click its surface to jump to the next local solar eclipse for that spot at that obscuration when possible.

Keyboard:

Space: play / pause time
. (dot): step forward 1 second
O: toggle orbit lines
L: toggle states/provinces

🔹 Features

Search satellites by name or NORAD ID

Browse all satellite pages

Filter by satellite groups (Starlink, GPS, etc.)

Show/hide orbit paths and ground tracks

Realistic sun position and Earth shadow

True-scale Astronomy Engine view: Sun, planet, and moon body sizes use real relative ratios instead of fake oversized spheres. Distances use an adjustable AU scale for navigation, with optional guide lines, labels, and invisible pick helpers to keep tiny bodies findable.
