Satellite Chaser: A Window Onto Orbit

satchaser.com Observed source
Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive satellite-tracking tool that lets visitors explore orbital paths, compare satellites, and move through a 90-minute time window.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

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.
