Satcat

What is Satcat?

Satcat by Kayhan Space is a unified spaceflight intelligence exchange platform that aggregates extensive data on over 60,000 objects orbiting Earth, including active satellites, debris, and decayed objects. It provides users with detailed satellite information, real-time tracking, historical Two-Line Element (TLE) data up to four years, space weather forecasts, and advanced analysis tools. Satcat’s interactive 3D globe visualization and sandbox analytics empower professionals and enthusiasts to monitor orbital dynamics, assess collision risks, and simulate scenarios. The platform also supports operator-to-operator coordination, autonomous collision avoidance, and precise orbit determination, making it a mission-critical tool for satellite operators, researchers, and space industry stakeholders.
