ZenitOrbit

What it does

Track ISS, Starlink and other satellites on a fast 3D Earth. Explore calculated orbits, local passes, day and night, filters and data freshness.

Explore calculated positions and paths of publicly tracked objects on a live-updating 3D globe. Positions are calculated estimates from public orbital elements, not live telemetry. Positions are calculated estimates from public orbital elements, not live telemetry. Calculated · not live telemetry Icons and visual altitude are not to scale. Methodology Track the ISS, explore Starlink and discover the spacecraft crossing your part of the sky. Every dot on the globe represents an object from the public catalog. Select one to reveal its calculated path, current altitude and orbital elements. ZenitOrbit calculates positions in your browser from public Space-Track orbital elements. The map moves…from zenitorbit.com

  I made a site where you can travel in space in your browser2022 · spaceinbrowser.com · ▲179

  I made this site using R3F (https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber), a React renderer for 3JS (https://threejs.org/). The celestial bodies are Three.JS meshes. I used loaders (namely 'useLoader' from R3F and 'GLTFLoader' from 3JS) to import 3D models, such as International Space Station. More on loading models in R3F: https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/tutorials/loading-mod... I've future plans for this side project. It would be great to hear from the HN community before diving into them. Enjoy! P.S: Getting an empty…

  Beautiful 3D ISS tracker with live video and near-realtime clouds2024 · iss.matteason.co.uk · ▲139

  This is a little hobby project that I hope you enjoy. You can see where the International Space Station is now, with live HD video from NASA, on a realistic 3D globe. The positions of the sun and moon are also accurate, though distances aren't to scale. The clouds are also near-realtime; I span that out into a separate project at https://clouds.matteason.co.uk, where the cloud images I create from EUMETSAT data are freely available. I've got more features almost ready to go, like the ability to turn off all UI, toggleable clouds and turning off the day/night cycle I'd love for…

  Orbit – AR satellite tracker, watch 15k+ objectsJul 2026 · nagylukas.github.io · ▲89

  Hey HN! I made Orbit, an iOS app that allows you to see the satellites, planets, and constellations above you in AR, on a 2D map, and on a 3D globe. The app includes more than 15,000 objects tracked by CelesTrack, together with their pass predictions, descriptions, and detailed orbital data. A searchable catalog of all objects is also available, as well as a built-in chatbot designed to answer any space-related questions you might have. This is my first published iOS app, so any feedback is greatly appreciated! App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6772174570
