An MIT-licensed CLI that says it can identify a Starlink point of presence with differential ping and monitor beam handovers.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-15 issue.

For: Starlink users investigating latency and link changes
Worth noticing: Its watch mode is described as checking beam handovers at four 15-second offsets: :12, :27, :42, and :57.

Field notes

The page gives the invocations `npx startrack` and `npx startrace`, then lists `pop`, `watch`, `bench`, and `statusline` modes. It describes differential multi-anchor ping as a way to cancel LEO jitter, with watch checks at :12, :27, :42, and :57. A full observatory is marked “Coming Soon”; the page links to StarTrack.live for a live aviation observatory.
