Satellite tracking API live orbital positions.

Where any satellite is right now — SGP4-propagated position by NORAD id — plus the catalog, orbital data centers and a space-weather now-cast.

The call

Keyless over MCP, or one REST call with a free key. Every datapoint is provenance-stamped and citeable.

# REST (free key)
curl -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" "https://dynamicfeed.ai/satellite?norad_id=25544"

# MCP (keyless) — point any client at https://dynamicfeed.ai/mcp, then call:
satellite_position(norad_id=25544)

Sample response

{ "name": "ISS (ZARYA)", "norad_id": 25544, "lat": 12.3, "lon": 45.6,
  "alt_km": 421, "velocity_kms": 7.66, "observed_at": "2026-06-03T13:02:00Z" }

Why live data

Orbital state changes every second and is never in training data. This propagates current TLEs with SGP4 so an agent gets a live fix, plus the space-weather context around it.

FAQ

How is position computed?

SGP4 propagation of current TLEs from CelesTrak/Space-Track (redistribution permitted with citation).

Can I list satellites?

Yes — search the catalog, then fetch a position by NORAD id.

Keyless?

MCP is keyless; REST uses a free key.
