Real-Time Satellite Tracking
It's never been so easy to launch into space.
Discover expert insights, technical guides, and the latest trends in space domain awarenness
Forty-two years ago, an Atlas H rocket climbed into the California sky carrying four objects that would help the U.S. Navy track every Soviet warship on the planet - a mission so secret that even the satellites' true name wasn't declassified until 2023
The UK's orbital ambitions rest on a remote Shetland island. How SaxaVord became Europe's first fully licensed vertical launch spaceport - and why, despite being ready for years, it's still waiting for a rocket that works.
On January 20, 1972, the second KH-9 HEXAGON lifted off from Vandenberg - carrying the most sophisticated reconnaissance system ever built by engineers who weren't allowed to say 'film,' 'camera,' or even talk to each other about what they were doing.
