By using Orbit 2026 (the website, iOS app, macOS screensaver, or any other platform), you agree to these terms.
Orbit 2026 is a real-time satellite tracking visualization. It displays satellite positions calculated from publicly available Two-Line Element (TLE) data. The application is provided for informational and educational purposes.
Satellite positions are calculated using SGP4 orbital propagation from TLE data provided by CelesTrak. While we strive for accuracy, orbital predictions are approximations. Do not rely on Orbit 2026 for safety-critical applications, navigation, or collision avoidance.
The Orbit 2026 application, including its source code, visual design, shaders, and branding, is the property of David Hodge. Satellite orbital data is sourced from public domain datasets.
Orbit 2026 is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. David Hodge is not liable for any damages arising from the use of this application.
TestFlight builds are pre-release software and may contain bugs. By participating in the beta, you accept that the software may not function as expected.
We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of Orbit 2026 constitutes acceptance of updated terms.
