The Orbit view of MapDecoded — a fully interactive live tracker rendering the entire active-satellite catalog with SGP4 physics. Search, follow, draw orbits and coverage, sweep through launch history, and watch the sky move over a detailed Earth.
Search, follow, draw orbits and coverage, toggle day/night and orbital shells, or sweep the launch-year timeline to watch the sky fill up.
> The whole active catalog, propagated live with SGP4. Earth: NASA Blue Marble. Timeline reveals satellites by launch year; footprints show ground coverage; shells mark LEO / MEO / GEO altitudes.
Tap any satellite for its full spec sheet — orbit, frequency bands and what it actually does.
From the weather layer to geostationary orbit — where each machine on the map actually flies.
| Layer / orbital regime | Altitude | What happens there | Who's there |

> Dry air is 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon and 0.042% CO₂, uniform up to the 100 km turbopause. Above the Kármán line, orbital regimes take over.
Who operates the orbits, at what altitude, and for what.
