Tools

• get_satellite — Get satellite orbital elements (TLE / GP data) for a single object by NORAD catalog ID. Returns orbital parameters: inclination, eccentricity, mean motion, RAAN, argument of perigee, epoch, and derived orbital period in minutes. norad_id 25544 = ISS, 20580 = Hubble. This is the orbital catalog, not live position tracking.
• search_by_name — Search the satellite catalog by name substring and return matching orbital elements (TLE / GP data). e.g. "STARLINK", "NOAA", "GPS". Returns up to 50 matches with orbital parameters (inclination, eccentricity, period). Catalog/orbital data, not live tracking.
• get_group — List orbital elements (TLE / GP data) for an entire CelesTrak group — e.g. the Starlink, GPS, or weather satellite catalog. Groups: "stations", "starlink", "gps-ops", "weather", "science", "geo", "active". Returns up to 100 satellites with orbital parameters (inclination, eccentricity, period). Catalog/orbital data, not live tracking.
