Satellite Tracking -

Satellite Tracking - NASA keeps adding great resources online. The JTrack 3d applet lets you track every satellite in orbit (as a 3d model). ...and we've all seen the Astronomy Picture of the Day. Just goes to show that faster, cheaper, better isn't the only thing they are working on.

The problem with that database is that there's a huge constellation which is missing. They have all the Iridium satellites (ironically, since they're going to get brought down) but don't have any of GlobalStar's satellites (which just went online commercially with something like fifty birds).
