¿Qué es?

KeepTrack.space is a TypeScript web application that visualizes satellites, space debris and the ground sensors that track them in 3D. It runs in any modern browser with WebGL 2.0 support, with no installation required, and it can also be built and run locally from source.

The project computes satellite positions from orbital element data using its own orbital mechanics library (OOTK), with orbit calculations offloaded to Web Workers so the interface stays responsive. Users can search for satellites by name, NORAD ID or country, view ground tracks and orbit lines, calculate look angles and access times for sensors, and run analysis tools such as launch simulation, breakup modeling and collision screening.

The codebase is organized as a rendering engine, an application layer and a plugin system, where optional features are isolated plugins that can be enabled or disabled. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0, and the project states it is used by operations centers, universities and outreach programs.

Funciones clave

  • 01Tracks tens of thousands of satellites with live position updates in 3D.
  • 02Computes sensor look angles, pass predictions and access times.
  • 03Includes launch simulation, breakup modeling and collision detection tools.
  • 04Supports orbit lines, ground tracks, trail mode and a time machine for past or future dates.
  • 05Offers a plugin architecture for adding custom analysis tools and visualizations.
  • 06Can load custom TLE catalogs and run offline after loading.

Casos de uso

  • Teaching orbital mechanics and satellite motion in a classroom with interactive 3D visualization.
  • Monitoring sensor coverage and satellite passes for space situational awareness operations.
  • Visualizing debris fields and breakup events for outreach or public engagement.
  • Embedding a satellite tracking view on a website or museum exhibit.
