Tracked Objects ?
Total number of cataloged objects currently being tracked in Earth orbit, including active satellites, defunct satellites, rocket bodies, and debris fragments.

Updated in real-time from TLE
TLE (Two-Line Element set) is a standardized data format used to describe the orbit of an Earth-orbiting object. Published by the US Space Command, TLEs enable prediction of an object's position at any given time.

Active Conjunctions (24h) ?
A conjunction occurs when two objects in orbit pass close to each other (within 1km). These events are monitored continuously to assess collision risk and determine if avoidance maneuvers are needed.
0
Predicted close approaches < 1km
Fragmentation Events (30d) ?
A fragmentation event occurs when a space object breaks apart — from collisions, explosions, battery failures, or material degradation — creating multiple new trackable debris pieces.

🔴 2026-02-18 — SL-16 R/B breakup
Proton upper stage (1993-015B) spontaneous breakup at 850km due to residual propellant. +23 fragments cataloged.
🟠 2026-02-09 — CZ-3B R/B debris shed
Long March 3B upper stage (2019-074B) thermal cycling stress fragmentation at 780km. +15 fragments.
🟡 2026-01-28 — Unknown breakup
Unidentified object near 920km / 99° inc. Possible micrometeorite impact. +9 fragments detected by 18th SDS.

Kessler Risk Index ?
The Kessler Syndrome describes a cascading chain reaction where collisions create debris that causes further collisions. This index estimates the current risk level for each orbital regime based on object density and relative velocities.

⚡ Collision Probability ?
Estimates the probability that two specific objects will collide within a given time window. Free version includes 50 sample objects; PRO unlocks the full Space-Track catalog (45,000+ objects).

How is this calculated?

Uses a simplified Kessler spatial density model: collision probability = 1 − exp(−V_rel × σ / V_shell × N_orbits), where V_rel is relative velocity from orbital elements, σ is combined cross-section, and V_shell is the shared orbital shell volume. For production use, PRO version applies SGP4 orbit propagation with Alfano's method using full covariance matrices.
