OrbitMap - Live 3D map of 15,000+ satellites orbiting Earth

byβ€’
OrbitMap.space is a live interactive 3D map that lets you explore over 15,000 satellites orbiting Earth in real-time. Watch satellites move, get pass notifications, and even "fly along" with them. A fun and educational way to experience the growing orbital ecosystem around our planet. Currently adding a space blog and product recommendations (telescopes, books & more). Made for space enthusiasts, students, and curious minds.

Hi Product Hunt! πŸ‘‹ I built OrbitMap.space because I wanted a beautiful and fun way to see what's actually happening above us right now. It shows 15,000+ satellites in real-time 3D, with satellite pass alerts and a cool "fly with satellite" mode. Would love your honest feedback β€” what features would you like to see next? Try it here:

Honestly kind of mesmerizing watching all the satellites drift by in real time, especially the Starlink clusters. The fly along feature is a really nice touch, feels like you're actually up there with them.

Β Really glad it landed well! The Starlink clusters were actually one of the trickiest parts to get smooth β€” happy that shows πŸ˜„

Love the fly-along feature, super immersive. One thing that would take this further for me is being able to filter satellites by country or operator so I can quickly see which ones belong to a specific agency like ESA or ISRO. Would make tracking and learning about international missions way easier.

Β Thanks! Really glad the fly-along feature is resonating. Filtering by country/operator (ESA, ISRO, etc.) is coming up a lot in the feedback here β€” seems like a clear signal this needs to be a core feature, not just a nice-to-have. Adding it to the roadmap along with country color-coding and operator flags that others suggested. Appreciate the detailed feedback!

love how smooth the orbit trajectories animate when you zoom in, the fly-along feature feels really well thought out for something this data-heavy

Β Thanks! Getting the trajectory animation smooth while still being accurate to real orbital data took a lot of tuning, so this means a lot

Spent a few minutes clicking around and honestly got a bit lost watching the constellations of satellites drift over my city, the fly along feature is a really neat touch.

Β That's exactly the reaction I was hoping for! Which city were you watching over? Curious if certain regions have denser traffic overhead

I would love to see a simple toggle to color-code satellites by their launch year or country of origin, so I can quickly spot which nations are most active in orbit right now.

Β This is a great idea β€” would you want both toggles (year AND country), or is one more useful to you than the other? Trying to figure out what to prioritize first.

Love how clean the fly-along feature feels, it really puts you in the orbit. One thing that would take this further for me is showing the actual country or operator that owns each satellite when you click on it, plus a tiny flag on the icon. Helps connect the dots between what you see up there and the real-world activity driving it.

Β This pairs really well with a similar suggestion someone else made about color-coding by country! Owner/operator info + a flag on click sounds like the perfect way to do it without cluttering the map. Adding both to the roadmap, thanks for the detailed feedback!
