orbital playground.
A working circular-orbit simulator that puts time, inclination and altitude in your hands. Follow the satellite and compare its position with the numbers.
- Adjust altitude and inclination
- Play, pause and explore the timeline
- Read the modeled position, speed and period

What is SateliteAPI.com?
A satellite technology knowledge hub and browser app suite. Explore APIs, orbital tracking, AI imagery, geospatial data, globe design and mobile development, then try the working educational tools.
Does the orbit explorer show live satellite positions?
It uses an idealized circular-orbit model with controls for altitude, inclination and time. It does not download live orbital elements or claim operational tracking accuracy. The tracker guide explains the additional data and models needed for real predictions.
Do I need an account or API key?
No account is required for the guides and included browser tools. External data providers have their own access rules; read the source directory before integrating a provider.
Are native iOS and Android apps available?
The app suite works in a browser. The iOS and Android sections are development guides; native store downloads are not part of this release.
