Orbital — Live Satellite Catalog & Kessler Cascade
Every tracked object in Earth orbit, propagated live on the GPU from real CelesTrak orbital elements — the actual Starlink shells, the ISS, GPS, and the named debris clouds, with J2 plane precession and shadow-side eclipse dimming. Then break it: collide satellites, fire an ASAT, or launch a deliberate coordinated attack and watch the Kessler chain reaction shred low orbit while a live event log names every kill, an altitude histogram fills with debris, and an economic-loss counter climbs. Fast-forward ten years to see which shells drag clears and which stay poisoned for generations.
- — Live catalog: ~18,000 real objects from CelesTrak (cached), classified into LEO/MEO/GEO/HEO + tracked debris
- — Real orbital mechanics: GPU Kepler propagation, J2 secular precession, atmospheric-drag decay, GEO eclipse
- — Click any satellite to inspect or destroy it; four incident scenarios including a deliberate Kessler attack
