Satellite Chaser: A Window Onto Orbit
An interactive satellite-tracking tool that lets visitors explore orbital paths, compare satellites, and move through a 90-minute time window.
Field notes
The explorer uses public orbital elements and SGP4 calculations to project satellite positions on a globe, rather than receiving live spacecraft transmissions. Its controls include a 90-minute time slider, satellite search by name or NORAD ID, browser-kept favorites, and an estimated-separation comparison between two objects. The page identifies ISS (ZARYA), NORAD 25544, as the selected example and notes that inactive objects may appear when the source catalogue includes them.
