☄️ Space Debris Tracker
The complete tracked orbital debris population rendered in real time. Three CelesTrak debris groups (Cosmos 2251, FenYun-1C, Iridium 33) are fetched and deduplicated, then propagated via SGP4 every 5 seconds. Objects are colour-coded by origin event and altitude band on a globe.gl WebGL globe. Click any debris piece for altitude, velocity, inclination, orbital period, and a full-orbit track drawn directly in 3D space.
