Updates
Built this new page and accordions. Older updates exclusively refer to the "classic" version of satellitemap.space.
Show older updates...
Changed the definition of 'parked' vs 'in service' to a lower altitude break of 445km thus the in-service graph jumped and the yellow in-active line dropped
This page is old and refers to changes made to the old visualization it is here because I don't know why also it has the Privacy Policy and other sections
Another 27 Kuiper satellites are catalogued just in time for the very frugal and not at all out of touch Bezos wedding
Added Globalstar and Iridium networks. Will work on some improvements to the display of the non-starlink networks next
A better close conjunctions algorithm runs faster and finds all conjunctions (previous one did not find all). Added loading notification when starting up globe display.
When clicking on a satellite, associated satellites on same orbit are more correctly picked out. Inclination is added as an attribute
Kuiper - the new Amazon constellation - is now in tracking
When the new Amazon constellation appears in the tracking, I will add it
Updated the One Web constellation and the GPS satellites. Added a "no label" option so satellites can be shown as just dots when fully zoomed in. Fixed up the much mis-used feedback facility (that page where you submit a request or a bug etc). Now I use deepseek to filter out the bot generated form-submission rubbish so I can actually read actual feedback instead of ignoring it all by default.
For some time functionality additions to satellitemap.space have ceased as it works ok as it stands. With the number of starlink satellites up now there is little use for the old functions of "having starlink", "wanting starlink", or "ordering starlink" and the functions to display availability by hexagonal cells on the globe are way out of date. While there is no additional function planned and the google play app has been removed due to onerous google play store development hurdles and red-tape, the data is still being updated continuously from public sources and the orbits are still being correctly calculated and the IOS app Augmented display of satellites should still be correct. Since Twitter has turned into a cesspool and the CEO is a total prick, integration with twitter was ceased so notifications of satellite re-entries, new launches, very close satellite to satellite passes and so on are published nowhere. Running the site costs money in hosting fees and occasional work and it represents many hours of programming before this time when AI coding supposedly does everything for you. There are no ads or other sponsors even though monetisation companies are ready to ruin the page with pop-ups pop-unders and so on. That's the 2025 update!
Updated the conjunctions page today. Some more site updates are in the pipeline.
All the recent altitude history graphs and batching of satellites per launch were buggered up due to errors in automated data retrieval -- this was untangled and now the data looks ok again and hopefully will stay that way.
Automation of tweeting for following events: additional launches scheduled, additional catalogued satellites from recent launches, close conjunctions to ISS or CSS
Added launches pages for starlink launches which lead to individual orbit insertion graphs.
The three approximate Italian ground station locations have been added. Without online copies of any official paperwork and approvals the lat/long or current operational status is uncertain
Not a lot to report. During a pause in starlink launches, quite a number of re-entries are happening. Judging by misdirected emails a large number of customers are waiting in limbo with little to no information from Starlink on their order progress. If you follow our twitter, the monday movie is getting tweaked slightly.
