Science Satellite Tracker — Space Telescopes and Research Missions

Science satellites represent humanity's eyes on the cosmos and our own planet. From the iconic Hubble Space Telescope to the groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), these missions have revolutionized our understanding of the universe, our atmosphere, and Earth's changing climate.

Earth-observing science missions like NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites monitor land, ocean, and atmospheric conditions daily, providing critical data for climate research, agriculture, disaster response, and environmental monitoring. The Landsat program has built an unbroken record of Earth imagery stretching back to 1972.

This tracker lets you follow these remarkable spacecraft in real time, see their orbital paths across the globe, and appreciate the network of scientific instruments continuously studying our planet and the universe beyond.
