◉ Live tracks
Where the fleet is right now.
Real orbits for active Earth-observing satellites (NASA and partners), drawn as ground tracks with their instrument swaths over a live Blue Marble basemap. Live positions when Celestrak is reachable; a physically-modeled orbit otherwise.

Not on the map: NAIP (USDA) is flown by aircraft, not satellites — it has no orbit to plot. Landsat C2 L2 rides on Landsat 9, shown above.
Dashed glow = instrument swath · dot = sub-satellite point. Orbits via SGP4 (satellite.js) + Celestrak; basemap is NASA GIBS Blue Marble, equirectangular.
