Starlink Tracker
DataView live positions of SpaceX Starlink internet satellites orbiting Earth.
How to Use Starlink Tracker
View the live positions of SpaceX Starlink satellites currently orbiting Earth at ~550 km altitude. The tracker shows active satellite positions updating in real time — useful for understanding satellite broadband coverage, observing constellation patterns, or spotting Starlink trains after a fresh launch.
1
Open the tracker
Satellite positions load automatically on the live map.
2
Observe the constellation
Watch how Starlink satellites distribute themselves in orbital planes across the globe.
3
Track a pass
After a new batch launch, Starlinks form a visible "train" in the sky for several nights before spacing out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Starlink satellites are in orbit?+
SpaceX has launched over 7,000 Starlink satellites as of 2025, with plans to expand to 12,000 and potentially 42,000.
Why can I see Starlink satellites from the ground?+
They reflect sunlight while in low orbit, especially just after launch when packed together.
Do Starlink satellites affect astronomy?+
Yes — their brightness is a concern for observatories. SpaceX has added visors and darkened coatings on newer batches to reduce reflectivity.
