Every satellite in the sky, live on a spinning globe — all 14,000 of them. Satellite Tracker draws the whole catalog moving in real time: Starlink's woven shells, the GPS constellations, the ISS and Tiangong, spent rocket stages and tumbling debris. Filter by constellation or by nation, crank time to 600× and watch low orbits swirl while the geostationary ring hangs still. TONIGHT'S SKY See which satellites you can watch with your own eyes tonight — sunlit passes over your location, with rise direction, peak height and duration. Get an alert 10 minutes before, walk outside, look up. POINT YOUR PHONE AT IT AR mode draws satellites on your real sky. Pick the ISS, follow the arrow, and the station is right where your camera points. EVERY SATELLITE HAS A STORY Tap any dot for altitude, speed, period, inclination and its full orbit ring. Search 14,000 objects by name. Share any satellite with a friend. Works fully offline with a bundled catalog; live orbital elements when connected.
