What is SPACEAPP & What does it Do?
Satellite trackers are digital tools that follow artificial objects orbiting Earth — like communication, weather, or research satellites. SPACEAPP is a satellite tracker reimagined for modern users: it collects orbital data from verified databases like NORAD and visualizes the real-time latitude, longitude, altitude, and speed of thousands of active satellites. Users can identify satellites, explore their missions, and even analyze their time spent in space through a clean, user-friendly interface.
SPACEAPPv3.0 has been retired. Now, v4.0/ v4.2/ v5.0/ v5.0-beta-1 are all available

What is in our SPACEAPP?
Here’s a closer look at the core features that make SPACEAPP more than just a tracker — it’s a complete orbital insight platform built for exploration, research, and learning.
Satellite and NORAD ID
Each satellite in orbit is uniquely identified by a NORAD ID — a five-digit catalog number assigned by the North American Aerospace Defense Command. SPACEAPP lets you search and discover satellites by their common names or NORAD IDs. This helps users trace specific missions, verify authenticity, and explore satellite purpose (e.g., Starlink-1094 or NOAA-20).
Satellite Live Position
SPACEAPP tracks the precise latitude (North-South position) and longitude (East-West position) of satellites in real time. Our dynamic interface updates continuously so you can watch satellites as they move above countries, oceans, and continents. Perfect for learning orbital mechanics or spotting visible satellites from your location.
Satellite Orbit Data
Orbit data includes parameters like altitude, inclination, eccentricity, and revolution period. SPACEAPP calculates and displays these values so users can understand how high a satellite flies, what shape its orbit forms (circular or elliptical), and how frequently it circles Earth. Great for education and satellite operation modeling.
TLE data
TLE stands for Two-Line Element, a compact format used to predict a satellite’s position over time. SPACEAPP decodes and visualizes TLE data in human-friendly terms. You’ll learn how orbital data is stored, how satellite paths are calculated, and how NASA or NORAD can predict future positions using just two lines of numbers.
Satellite Speed
Satellites orbit Earth at incredible speeds — often between 7 to 8 km/s. SPACEAPP computes each satellite's current velocity based on its orbital data. This helps users compare low Earth orbit (LEO) vs. geostationary satellites and understand why some satellites move fast across the sky while others seem stationary.
Time In Space
How long has a satellite been in orbit? SPACEAPP calculates the duration since launch, so you can see if the satellite is newly deployed or decades old. Useful for understanding satellite lifespan, mission duration, and decay prediction.
Take a look at our SPACEAPP Versions
SPACEAPP v4.x/v5.x (RECOMMENDED)
SPACEAPP v4.x & v5.0 (PLUS/RECOMMENDED) introduced multi-tracking, smooth animations, and performance improvements while staying fully plug-and-play.
- Run instantly from the .exe, no extra setup files.
- Register a free API key at n2yo.com/api and paste it inside the app when prompted.
- Multi-account support with real-time satellite list monitoring.
- Track multiple satellites simultaneously.
- Smooth flying animations between selected satellites.
- Dual API modes (efficient 8s/call or faster 3s/call) and map toggle.
Note: v5.0 builds on v4.x with significant performance tweaks and incredible stability. It is the recommended version for users internationally.
SPACEAPP v5.0-beta-x (TOP-TIER)
SPACEAPP v5.0-beta-x pushes the limits of the v5 architecture with smarter API routing, startup optimizations, real-time checks, and deeper system integration for advanced users.
- New intelligent API call system based on satellite type for better speed and efficiency.
- Automatic GitHub check for surveys, patch notes, and important updates.
- Improved first-run setup with cleaner user data initialization and location caching.
- Optimized local database handling with Supabase-backed indexing and faster lookup.
- Better stability for multi-tracking and smoother transitions between satellites.
- Register a free API key at n2yo.com/api and enter it on first launch.
Note: v5.0-beta-x offers cutting-edge improvements ahead of the next stable release. Ideal for testers and users who want access to the newest upgrades before they ship.
Note: All SPACEAPP versions are pure plug-and-play, requiring no configuration — just download, run the executable, register your N2YO API key, and start tracking satellites.
