Orbital Traffic app analytics for October 4

Track every satellite, station and spacecraft orbiting Earth — in real time. Orbital Traffic plots more than 19,000 tracked objects on a real-time 3D globe: the International Space Station, crewed capsules and cargo freighters, communications and navigation constellations, science missions, classified payloads, debris, and 77 near-Earth asteroids. Every position is computed on your device from live orbital data. WHAT'S OVERHEAD Tap once to see the notable objects passing high above you right now — elevation and compass bearing for each, so you know where to look. No guessing, no simulation, just orbital mechanics running on your phone. TODAY IN SPACE A live feed of what actually happened up there: dockings and undockings, launches, re-entries, and crew arrivals — read from real catalog data, never hand-written. CATCH A LAUNCH TRAIN A freshly launched batch flies as one long string for its first days in orbit — the "train" people photograph from the ground. Orbital Traffic finds those strings in the live catalog and lights the whole launch on the globe at once, with how high it is, how far apart the satellites have drifted, and how much of the string is left. THOUSANDS OF OBJECTS, EXPLAINED Search the catalog for hand-written profiles on 2,800+ notable objects — who built it, why it's up there — plus live telemetry on everything: altitude, speed, orbit shape and current ground position. FOLLOW THE FLEET Watch crewed capsules and cargo freighters — Dragon, Soyuz, Progress and Cygnus — from launch through docking to landing, and see who's living aboard the International Space Station and Tiangong right now. ASTEROIDS UP CLOSE 77 near-Earth asteroids plotted on their real heliocentric orbits, with close-approach dates and sizes. MAKE IT YOURS Switch between kilometers and miles, star your favorite objects or save them to a watchlist, and turn the motion down if you prefer a calmer globe.
