| Satellites in orbit | AlbertoConti | 12/27/07 3:23 PM | Using the framework developed for showing where Hubble is now, I have taken a snapshot of all the satellites orbiting planet earth. Attached is the kml that show their position and height over Earth as of a few weeks ago. For a real cool effect, sim |

| Re: Satellites in orbit | BikerRay | 2/26/09 10:25 AM | A good way to see satellites in real time is still http://science.nasa.gov/Realtime/jtrack/3d/JTrack3D.html Some years old, now, but still impressive._________________________ Ray - GPS plotting software http://users.xplornet.com/~perkins/GEtrax/ |
| Re: Satellites in orbit | Hill (GEC Moderator) | 2/27/09 7:43 AM | J-Track 3-D is great and I do like it. The distinction here is that the second kml referred to here tracks space debris, which includes inactive satellites and junk in orbit. This is a rising concern especially after the recent satellite collision. |
| Re: Satellites in orbit | yo9gjx | 3/28/09 12:38 AM | Good job. Also a very nice tool for satellite traking in google from N2YO at http://www.n2yo.com/?s=32953 |

| Re: Satellites in orbit | WilloxH | 3/28/09 9:45 PM | I prefer the more modern JSatTrak (NASA World Wind Java SDK based) Original post: World Wind et suivi de satellites en temps réel |

| Re: Satellites in orbit | Kenneth558 | 1/9/10 9:56 AM | For satellite dish aiming, maybe this should be a plug-in to Google Sky: As direct satellite transceiving becomes more available to consumers living mobile, living in remote areas, or just being satellite channel surfers, a droid app to facilitate di |
| Re: Satellites in orbit | Phrenism | 2/1/10 10:18 AM | Thanks! Pardon my lack of knowledge but out of curiosity, are the satellites that are a significant distance away from earth intentionally placed there or did they stray away?_________________________ The patient should be made to understand that he |
| Re: Satellites in orbit | Markopolo | 2/1/10 2:29 PM | I'm certainly no expert (not a rocket scientist!), but I know that different satellites are placed at different orbital altitudes for different purposes. And I also know that there is a relationship between orbital altitude and orbital period. For ex |
| Re: Satellites in orbit | Zenomorpff | 1/15/12 3:48 PM | Can you please tell me why all your markers are showing up in the GE earth browser? I don't recall installing your "Satellitesinorbit" collection and can't find it anywhere in my GE database, but all your tracking info shows up all over the map. Shou |
| Re: Satellites in orbit | tesseracat | 4/8/12 7:39 AM | Same problem as Zenomorpff here. Please help! Thanx |
| Re: Satellites in orbit | Hill (GEC Moderator) | 4/8/12 11:09 AM | This is a temporary problem caused by transition from the old GEC community forum to the present forum structure. It will eventually get sorted out. |
| Re: Satellites in orbit | VariForm Zaftig | 4/22/12 8:59 AM | time to remove the entire Satellites in orbit group... I too am irritated by satellite markers which have become earth Junk... |
| Re: Satellites in orbit | cregil | 6/6/12 7:23 AM | Aha! So it is not just me? Then I will stop trying to find how to turn it off! I keep bumping into these things, and while I enjoy astronomy and space, I never expect to look down to learn anything. |
