The recent historical data of an active space object can support pattern-of-life analysis, for example.

And all this historical data is, like our most current files, free to download. Visit Spacebook.com today and see what historical ephemeris can do for your work. (2/2)

That wraps up our data download series for now, but not before we leave you with one more cool tip: the Spacebook user guide provides example script commands that you can copy and paste to kickstart the creation of your download automations. Do we make this easy or do we make this easy? (3/4)

Whether you prefer downloading from the user interface or automating your workflow with the API, Spacebook gives you up-to-date, transparent access — for research, analysis, or pure curiosity. (2/4)

As you can imagine, the data can get a little squirrely the farther back you go, so please forgive us (and let us know) if you run into some hiccups on your journey through the past! (4/4)

Visit Spacebook.com now to get started! Just click that little clock icon next to the Cesium animation wheel to set the flux capacitor for time travel. Or, you can search the Spacebook catalog to find historical objects by name. (3/4)

Today we’re happy to announce that you can now access data on objects going back to January 1, 1960. Turn the Spacebook Explorer window into a time machine, or download decades of historical ephemeris data for whatever purpose you can imagine. (2/4)

• COMSPOC data can be used to update and maintain the currency of orbital depictions and data.

These datasets are updated at least once daily.

Each source contributes unique insight:

• Space-Track.org provides the primary satellite data displayed in the Data Plate.
• Jonathan McDowell’s GCAT adds physical characteristics for each object.
• CelesTrak supplies the latest operational status of each spacecraft. (3/4)

In this way, Spacebook makes it easy to access an accurate and expansive set of satellite information, while still maintaining the provenance of the data — which is particularly important when the data is not in agreement. (2/4)

If your organization is committed to a safer, more sustainable future in space, we invite you to join the SSC. Learn how at ➡️ spacesafety.org/how-to-join/. (3/3)

These best practices expand on existing guidelines established by international space coordination and standards organizations and reflect a shared commitment to long-term space safety and orbital environment stewardship. (2/3)
