Is there a satellite tracker?
Satellite Tracker is a powerful free application that will help you observe artificial satellites, like Starlink and the ISS, crossing the night sky. It can show the exact position of any satellite above the Earth and send notifications when the satellite you’re interested in will be passing over your location.
How do I find a satellite position?
The locations of the satellites are determined using tracking from ground stations. The ground stations use mechanisms such as radar, signal doppler, and laser reflectors to pinpoint the position of a satellite and to maintain an understanding of its orbital elements.
How do I track my Starlink satellite?
Simply head outside at a scheduled time for a Starlink passby, load up one of the apps and you should be able to spot one. Alternatively, you can visit the Find Starlink website (or the “Find Starlink Satellites” app) and enter your location.
How many satellites are in space right now?
