DEEP SPACE

Track missions beyond Earth orbit

Explore Voyager, JWST and active interplanetary missions using NASA/JPL Horizons ephemerides. Deep-space spacecraft are kept separate from Earth-orbit SGP4 tracking.

Different tracking engine

Earth satellites use CelesTrak orbital elements and SGP4. Interplanetary spacecraft use NASA/JPL Horizons vectors because TLE/SGP4 is not the correct model for deep-space trajectories.

Ephemeris snapshots

Deep-space coordinates are retrieved server-side and cached to reduce load. Distances and vectors are presented as ephemeris-derived values, not direct spacecraft telemetry.

Scale

The interactive scene uses a compressed visual scale so nearby and extremely distant missions can be viewed on one screen. Numeric distances remain the authoritative values.
