A 3D globe of every tracked object orbiting Earth
Stuff in Space renders satellites, spent rocket bodies and debris as points around a 3D Earth, updated from public orbital data. Search for a satellite to highlight its orbit, or filter by type.
It makes the crowding of low Earth orbit instantly visible. It was created by James Yoder and is maintained as an open-source project.
Stuff in Space is especially useful for stargazers, students and map lovers.
