FREE LIVE SATELLITE MAP
Watch every satellite, live.
This orbit tracker draws thousands of satellites on a 3D globe in real time — the ISS, Starlink, weather and GPS satellites — with their full orbit paths. Free, no signup, no paywall.
How satellite tracking works
Unlike airplanes, satellites don't broadcast their position for receivers to hear. Instead, their orbits are described by public data files called two-line elements (TLEs), published by sources like CelesTrak and updated regularly.
A TLE is a compact mathematical description of an orbit. Feed it plus the current time into standard orbital mechanics, and you get the satellite's position — latitude, longitude and altitude — at this exact second. Do that continuously for thousands of objects and you have a live satellite map.
WorldEye runs that computation for the full public catalog and renders every satellite on the 3D globe, with orbit paths so you can see where each one is headed. It's the same data professional trackers use — just wrapped in a map anyone can open.
What you can see on the tracker
Live positions
Every tracked satellite's current location above the Earth, updated continuously as it orbits.
Orbit paths
See the full orbital track — where each satellite has been and where it's headed next.
Categories
Space stations, Starlink, weather satellites, navigation (GPS), science missions and more — filter by type.
The ISS, live
Follow the International Space Station as it circles the planet roughly every 90 minutes.
Who uses a satellite tracker
Space enthusiasts
Watch constellations grow in real time, follow launches to orbit, and keep tabs on notable objects overhead.
ISS spotting
Know exactly when the space station passes over your location — then step outside and wave at it.
Students & educators
Orbital mechanics stops being abstract when you can watch thousands of objects obey it live on a globe.
Tip: pair the tracker with the live flight layer — aircraft below, satellites above, one globe.
Satellite tracker FAQ
Is the satellite tracker free?
Yes — completely free, forever. Satellite tracking is part of WorldEye's free map, alongside live flights, 36,000+ public cameras, weather, earthquakes and wildfires. No account, no credit card.
How does satellite tracking work?
Satellites follow predictable orbits described by public orbital data (called two-line elements, published by sources like CelesTrak). WorldEye takes that data, computes each satellite's current position with standard orbital math, and draws it on the 3D globe — so what you see is the satellite's calculated live position, refreshed continuously.
How accurate are the positions?
Very good for most purposes — typically within a few kilometers for well-tracked objects. Orbital data is refreshed regularly, but satellites do drift between updates, and maneuvers (like ISS reboosts) can briefly put a satellite off its predicted path until new data arrives.
Can I track the ISS?
Yes. The International Space Station is one of the most-tracked objects on the map — you'll see it moving live with its orbit path drawn out ahead of it. It's the brightest and easiest satellite to spot from the ground, too.
What satellites are tracked?
Thousands — the ISS and other stations, the Starlink constellation, weather satellites, GPS and navigation satellites, science missions, rocket bodies and notable debris. Coverage follows whatever the public catalogs publish.
