Embed the live map

One line of HTML shows the live map on your page, as below: the ISS, Hubble, and 181 more satellites, the ground track and footprint of the one the frame follows, and the twilight and night bands, kept current in the reader’s browser.

The snippet

Paste it where the map should appear. The line under the frame is the attribution: keep it.

<iframe src="https://orbinauts.com/embed/map" title="Live satellite map by Orbinauts" width="100%" height="480" loading="lazy" style="border:0"></iframe>
<p><a href="https://orbinauts.com/">Live satellite tracker map by Orbinauts: the ISS, Hubble, and 181 more satellites</a></p>

The frame opens on ISS. Add the alias of a satellite or a constellation to the frame’s address to open it there instead, as in https://orbinauts.com/embed/map?follow=tiangong. Every satellite and constellation with an alias

Any satellite’s catalogue number opens the frame on that satellite, as https://orbinauts.com/embed/map?follow=48274 opens it on Tiangong; a satellite in a constellation has no alias of its own, and its constellation’s page lists its number.

Show the next pass on your page

Every city page also offers its card: a picture of the next visible pass, refreshed every hour, that links back to the city page. Here is the one for Madrid, with its snippets; every city page has its own.

Next visible pass over Madrid

Paste the snippet your page or forum takes. The link around the picture is the attribution: keep it.

Free on the same terms as the embed: keep the credit line drawn in the picture and the link to the city page around it.

Terms

Free for any page, commercial pages included, as long as the attribution stays: the line inside the frame and the link under it, both pointing at the full map. There is no limit on the number of pages.

What the address names, an alias or a satellite’s catalogue number, only chooses what the frame opens on: the attribution stays either way, whichever satellite is shown.

To show the map without the attribution, or under your own name, write to hello@orbinauts.com for a licence.

The terms of use say the rest.
