In this page you can track in real time all satellites orbiting the Earth, with both a 2D and 3D interactive representations, predict their passes, view their trajectory among stars on an interactive sky chart, predict satellite flares and transits (across the Sun and the Moon), find out the best location to see these events on a detailed Google map. You can also follow satellite re-entries and other special events, join the observer community, post messages and share your comments and observations. Currently in our database we have more than 8500 observation reports!. You won't find any other tracker on the net that provides all these functions!
