N2YO

Track satellites with N2YO: where the International Space Station (or any of the 35,000 catalogued objects) is right now, when it will next be visible from your back garden, when it will be high enough to work by radio, what is passing overhead at this moment, and the orbital elements tracking software needs.

Steps a workflow can run in N2YO.

  • Get orbital elements (TLE)Get a satellite's current two-line element set: the orbital data every tracking and prediction tool reads. Returns both lines separately and as the plain text block those tools expect. Reports 'found: false' when the catalog number has no current elements rather than failing the step.
  • Get a satellite's position nowGet where a satellite is at this moment, the point on Earth it is over, how high it is, and where to look for it from your location: the compass bearing, the angle above the horizon, and whether it is above the horizon at all.
  • Get a satellite's ground trackFollow a satellite second by second from now, up to 300 positions, each with the point on Earth below it and where to look for it. This is the path to draw on a map, or to point an antenna along.
  • Get visible passesGet the times a satellite will be visible to the naked eye from your location: when it appears, where to look, how high it climbs, how bright it gets and how long it stays visible.
  • Get radio passesGet the times a satellite will be high enough above your horizon to work by radio, whatever the light, with the peak elevation that decides how good the contact will be.
  • Get the next passAnswer 'when can I next see it?' in one step: the soonest pass over your location, with how long until it starts, where it rises, how high it climbs and where it sets. Choose whether that means a pass you can see or one you can work by radio.
  • List satellites above you nowList everything N2YO is tracking in a patch of sky above your location right now, with each object's name, catalog number, launch date, height and the point on Earth it is over. Narrow it to a category such as Starlink, amateur radio, weather or the ISS.
