Satlas

Satlas provides real-time 3D orbit tracking for over 31,000 objects, including satellites and space debris. Key features include: * Real-time 3D visualization of orbital objects * Natural language querying for orbital mechanics * Pass visibility scoring * Category filters for object types * Country-specific overhead object views This tool allows users to query complex orbital mechanics using plain English, for example, by asking "when does the ISS pass over Melbourne?" It then calculates the exact time, maximum elevation, and assesses sky darkness for visibility. Clicking on any country instantly displays all satellites currently passing overhead, offering a dynamic and interactive view of objects in Earth's orbit. Satlas is built for astronomers, space enthusiasts, educators, and researchers who require precise, up-to-date information on celestial objects without needing specialized software or technical expertise. It offers immediate insights into space situational awareness. The system is fully open source, requires no authentication, and provides a public REST API for deeper integration and custom applications.
