Communication Satellite Tracker — Iridium, Intelsat, and Telecom Satellites

Communication satellites form the backbone of global telecommunications, providing television broadcasting, internet connectivity, telephone service, and data relay across oceans and continents. From geostationary giants to low-orbit constellations, these spacecraft connect billions of people worldwide.

The Iridium NEXT constellation provides global satellite phone and data coverage with 66 active satellites in low Earth orbit, while geostationary operators like Intelsat, SES, and Inmarsat deliver broadband, maritime, and aviation connectivity from fixed positions 35,786 km above the equator. OneWeb and Amazon's Project Kuiper are building new mega-constellations to expand global broadband access.

Use this tracker to see communication satellites in real time, from the dense low-orbit constellations to the geostationary arc of broadcast and broadband satellites visible as a ring around the equator.
