Satellite Live Map - Current Position by NORAD ID
Show one satellite's current position and a short movement trail on a world map using its NORAD catalog ID and N2YO position data.
N2YO live satellite position
Satellite Live Map
Show one satellite's current subpoint and a short position trail on a world map using its NORAD catalog ID.
ISS is 25544
Requires N2YO_API_KEY. Observer coordinates are used by N2YO for azimuth/elevation fields; the map marker shows the satellite subpoint.

Usage guide
Satellite tracking data source and map limitations
This satellite map is designed for one selected satellite at a time. It combines catalog identifiers, server-side position requests, and a world map view to show a practical tracking snapshot.
How to use Satellite Live Map
- 1.Enter a NORAD catalog ID or open the map from a satellite search result.
- 2.The server requests current position data from the configured satellite provider.
- 3.The map plots the current subpoint and a short recent trail when data is available.
Examples
- ISS tracking by NORAD ID can show the current ground position.
- A Starlink object can be checked individually instead of loading thousands of satellites at once.
- The map can be used as a quick visual reference before checking a pass prediction tool.
Limitations and notes
- Live satellite position depends on external data availability and API configuration.
- This tool is informational and should not be used for navigation, aviation, safety, or mission-critical operations.
Why might the map show no result?
The satellite ID may be invalid, the provider may be temporarily unavailable, or the required server API key may not be configured.
Does this show all satellites at once?
No. It intentionally focuses on one selected satellite to keep the map fast and avoid excessive external API usage.

How the satellite live map works
Enter a NORAD catalog ID or open the map from a satellite finder result.
Tool Nova requests current N2YO position data through a server route.
The map plots the satellite subpoint and a short trail on OpenStreetMap tiles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this require an API key?
Yes. Add N2YO_API_KEY in Vercel environment variables. The key is used only on the server route.
Can this show every satellite at once?
This version intentionally shows one selected satellite to avoid heavy API usage and keep the map responsive.
