Exploring the Final Frontier with Keep Track

KeepTrack is an innovative platform that allows users to monitor satellites orbiting Earth in real-time. At its core is a 3D interactive map that not only shows you where satellites are at the moment but also provides advanced analytics and visualizations to study their orbits and interactions in space. Using KeepTrack, you can dive into the world of astrodynamics and explore the trajectories of thousands of satellites from the comfort of your own home.

Real-Time Satellite Tracking

One of KeepTrack’s standout features is its real-time orbital tracking. With this, you can follow satellites as they move through space, viewing their paths in beautifully rendered 3D.

You can search for satellites by name using the search ('?') button at the top-right of the screen. Enter the name of an individual satellite, and KeepTrack will automatically zoom in to reveal the 3D model of the selected satellite along with its orbital track around Earth.

KeepTrack visualizes more than 37,000 satellites and debris objects as they orbit the Earth, each of which you can track in real-time. The app offers a vast range of options for tracking and viewing the locations of these satellites, simulating their break-up, and understanding the distribution of satellite space debris.
