Orbitalradar

Thanks so much to everyone who’s checked out Orbital Radar.

If you had a moment to try it out, I’d love to hear:

• What would keep you coming back?

• Are there any datasets or visualizations you'd want added?

Also happy to chat tech stack or behind-the-scenes stuff if anyone's curious how it's all wired together.

Thanks again!

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

I’m Mark, a UK-based satellite communications engineer, and I recently launched a product that brings together my passion for space and my background in global comms:

Orbital Radar is a real-time satellite tracking platform built to be fast, user-friendly, and open to everyone — no accounts, no ads, just clean, accessible data.

🌌 Why I Built This

After years of working in secure communications across 80+ countries, I realized that while the space industry is booming, the tools for the public to understand it haven't kept up.

Most satellite tracking sites are overly technical, outdated, or just not designed with accessibility in mind. I wanted to fix that.

Orbital Radar lets anyone:

• Track satellites, debris, and re-entries in real time

• Monitor orbital events like close approaches and anomalies

• View live space weather overlays (auroras, solar wind, KP index)

• Explore without friction — it works beautifully on mobile and desktop

💬 I'd Love Your Feedback

This is still early days, but the core platform is live and evolving fast. I'm sharing it here to:

• Get your feedback on what to improve

• Hear what features or data you’d find valuable

• Connect with others building in space, data, or real-time tech

Thanks for checking it out, and feel free to AMA about satcoms, real-time web tech, or anything orbital.
