FAQ

Where does the satellite data come from?

All orbital data is sourced from CelesTrak, which aggregates official Two-Line Element (TLE) sets published by the U.S. Space Force. Positions are calculated using the SGP4 orbital propagation algorithm.

How do I install the screensaver?

Download the .zip file, extract it, and double-click the .saver file. macOS will prompt you to install it. Then go to System Settings → Screen Saver and select "Orbit 2026". Requires macOS 14+ with a Metal-capable GPU.

How accurate are the satellite positions?

SGP4 predictions from fresh TLEs are typically accurate to within a few kilometers for LEO satellites. Accuracy degrades over time as TLEs age. The app automatically refreshes TLE data when connected to the internet.

Does the app work offline?

Yes. On first launch, the app downloads and caches TLE data locally. It will display satellites using cached data when offline, though positions will gradually become less accurate without fresh TLEs.

What are the colored orbital trails?

The trails show recent orbital paths for navigation constellations: green for GPS, red for GLONASS, and pink/red for BeiDou. Each trail shows the satellite's path over the last ~45 minutes.
