Orbinauts

Orbinauts tracks every satellite in Earth orbit from public orbit data and answers the questions people actually ask about them. Add it to Claude and ask in your own words.

Ask where the International Space Station is right now and who is aboard. Ask when you can see it from your town tonight and get the passes in your local time, with the direction it rises, how high it climbs and when it fades. Ask what rocket launches are coming up this week, which satellites are about to fall back to Earth, which pairs are predicted to pass close to each other, or how many satellites are in orbit and how many of them are Starlink.

Every answer carries the Orbinauts page it comes from, so you can check it and read more. Passes are predictions from the latest orbit data, computed for the place you name; the place name or coordinates are used for the computation and never logged. Answers come in English or Spanish, with pages in the same language.

Eight read-only tools: find satellites by name or catalogue number, where a satellite is now, passes over a place, rocket launches, close approaches, re-entries, who is aboard the stations, and the satellite census. No account, no key, no sign-in: the data is public, and nothing here acts on your behalf.

Orbit data comes from Space-Track and launch data from Launch Library, through Orbinauts' own engine. The site, the API and this connector are the same service behind three doors.
