Last updated: July 18, 2026

1. Description of Service

OrbitMap is an informational and educational tool that visualizes the estimated real-time positions of satellites, including the International Space Station, using publicly available orbital tracking data. It is provided for curiosity, learning, and casual sky-watching purposes.

2. Accuracy Disclaimer — please read

Satellite positions, trajectories, visibility predictions, and pass times displayed on OrbitMap are estimates calculated from publicly published orbital data (TLEs) using standard propagation models. This data can be delayed, incomplete, or occasionally inaccurate, and predictions naturally become less precise further into the future.

OrbitMap must not be used for navigation, aviation, spaceflight operations, collision avoidance, targeting, or any safety-critical or operational decision. It is not a substitute for authoritative, operational tracking systems. Use the Service at your own risk and judgment.

3. No Warranty

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any data displayed will be accurate or current.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, OrbitMap and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service — even if we've been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

5. Intellectual Property & Trademarks

The OrbitMap name, logo, design, and original code and content are the property of OrbitMap unless otherwise noted. Satellite names (e.g. ISS, Hubble, Starlink, Tiangong), imagery, and any related trademarks or brand names referenced or displayed on this site are the property of their respective owners — including space agencies, satellite operators, and manufacturers — and are used solely for identification and educational purposes.

No affiliation or endorsement

OrbitMap is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, CNSA, SpaceX, CelesTrak, or any other space agency, satellite operator, or manufacturer referenced on this site. Any use of a name, image, or trademark belonging to these organizations is made under fair use for identification and reference, not to imply any partnership.

If you believe content on this site infringes your copyright or trademark rights, contact us at the email below with details and we will promptly investigate and, where appropriate, remove or correct the material.

6. Advertising Disclosure

OrbitMap may display advertisements served by third-party networks, including Google AdSense, to help support the cost of operating the Service. Ads are clearly distinguishable from OrbitMap's own content and are not endorsements by OrbitMap of any advertiser, product, or service. See our Privacy Policy for details on advertising cookies and how to opt out of personalized ads.

7. Affiliate Disclosure

OrbitMap participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means some links on this site — for example, in blog posts recommending telescopes, binoculars, or other stargazing equipment — are affiliate links. If you click through and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we believe are genuinely relevant to our audience, but affiliate compensation may influence which products we choose to feature. This disclosure is made in accordance with FTC guidelines on endorsements and testimonials.

8. Third-Party Data & Links

OrbitMap displays data sourced from CelesTrak and uses OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service for location search. We don't control, and aren't responsible for, the accuracy, availability, or content of these or any other third-party services or websites linked from OrbitMap, including affiliate and advertiser links. Use of those services is governed by their own terms.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
  • Attempt to scrape, overload, or interfere with the normal operation of the Service or the third-party data sources it relies on;
  • Misrepresent OrbitMap data as authoritative or operational tracking information; or
  • Reverse-engineer or misuse the Service in a way that harms other users.

10. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time. We may also update these Terms periodically; continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We'll update the “Last updated” date above when changes are made.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the new Terms on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
