Look up from the map.
Space in IoBeacons shows live satellites on the same globe as your sites and devices. See what is overhead, where it is going next and how high and fast it is moving.
Five satellite groups to start
Space stations
The International Space Station and other crewed stations.
Weather satellites
The polar and geostationary satellites behind forecasts and storm tracking.
Earth observation
Imaging missions that watch land, crops, water and change over time.
GPS
The navigation constellation that your trackers and phones depend on.
Science
Telescopes and research missions in orbit.

Real orbits, worked out live
- We download public orbital elements from CelesTrak every few hours.
- Your browser calculates each satellite's position every second.
- Click a satellite to see its height, speed, the point below it and its path for the next orbit.
- Your sites, zones and devices stay on the globe, so you can see passes over the places you care about.
Positions are estimates from published orbital data and are good for awareness and planning. They are not for navigation or collision avoidance.
Three clicks
- Open Maps.
- Choose Space in the left-hand menu.
- Tick a group. The map turns into a globe and the satellites appear.
Space weather and Earth data
Alongside satellites, IoBeacons brings in what happens because of space and what satellites see: weather radar, warnings and hazards from NOAA and USGS. For research and operations teams we also work with NOAA space weather data and global soil data. Read more on Research.
