Amateur radio satellites

Radio amateurs have been building their own satellites since 1961. These 95 carry the repeaters and beacons that licensed amateurs talk through, and anyone can listen to, as they pass over.

Where they all are right now

Every dot is one of the amateur radio satellites, where it is this second. Drag the globe to turn it, pinch or use the buttons to come closer. Fast forward runs a minute of their flight every second.

All 95, with their orbits

Each name leads to that satellite’s page: what it is, its orbit in full, and a live 3D globe and map of where it is now.

The app’s camera view over a city at night, locked on the Hubble Space Telescope

With the app

Knowing where it is over the Earth is one thing. The app shows you where it is in your sky.

This page follows the satellite around the planet. The app works out when it passes over you, and leads you to it.

  • Every pass over your exact location, for this satellite and 10,000+ more.
  • An alert before it rises, so you are outside in time.
  • An arrow in the camera view that leads you to the exact spot in the sky.
  • Starlink trains, Tiangong, Hubble and the brightest satellites of tonight.
