What are Orbital Radar's Worlds?
A World is a live, interactive 3D globe of a body in the Solar System. Every World renders real data: the Earth globe tracks every active satellite, the ISS and tracked debris in real time, while the Moon globe tracks live lunar orbiters and maps Apollo and robotic landing sites, craters and Artemis candidate regions. The globes share one engine and one design language, and both the Earth and Moon globes carry a built-in switcher to hop between them.
The Moon globe is the newest World: it tracks five lunar orbiters — four on live NASA JPL Horizons ephemeris — and renders the real day/night terminator, the Moon's current phase and the live Earth–Moon distance. A Mars globe is in development; spacecraft beyond Earth orbit are tracked on Deep Space.
Frequently asked questions
What are Orbital Radar's Worlds?
Worlds are Orbital Radar's live, interactive 3D globes. Each one tracks real spacecraft and maps real surface features for a body in the Solar System. Earth and the Moon are live now; a Mars globe is in development.
Can I track spacecraft orbiting the Moon?
Yes. The Moon globe tracks five lunar orbiters — the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Chandrayaan-2, Danuri (KPLO), CAPSTONE and the Queqiao-2 relay — four of them on live NASA JPL Horizons ephemeris, updated continuously.
Is there a Mars globe yet?
Not yet — a real-time Mars globe is in development. Until it launches you can explore the Perseverance and Curiosity rovers, with their latest photos and mission status, on the Mars rovers pages.
How are the globes kept accurate?
The Earth globe uses SGP4 propagation from the latest published two-line elements (TLEs) sourced from Space-Track and CelesTrak. The Moon globe uses NASA JPL Horizons ephemeris for its live orbiters. Positions update continuously.
