Map & sources

The complete public CelesTrak active GP catalogue is shared with the Spacian app. SGP4 calculates positions from OMM orbital elements; motion between samples is interpolated. Earth and orbit distances share one scale; spacecraft models and points are enlarged for selection. Model geometry and orientation are representative; unknown designs use a generic spacecraft. The selected line shows one orbital period with Earth held at the displayed time.

Objects with elements more than 14 days from the displayed time, failed propagation or a position below Earth’s surface remain searchable and are counted as unplotted.
