About OrbitalTraffic

OrbitalTraffic is a Cesium-powered global operations view for live aircraft, propagated satellites, and aeronautical context. The project is designed around pluggable open-source-friendly providers and graceful degradation.

ADSB.lol

Default open live aircraft source. Coverage and freshness vary by feeder density.

OpenSky Network

Optional secondary flight adapter when credentials are configured.

CelesTrak

TLE and GP orbital element feeds used with satellite.js propagation.

OpenAIP

Optional airports and airspace source behind an API key.

Bundled static mocks

Keeps the app usable with no keys and during provider outages.

Free data sources can be stale, incomplete, or coverage-limited. OrbitalTraffic surfaces health badges and stale-data indicators so the UI stays useful even when one provider degrades.
