Orbitit

OrbitIt is a software platform for satellite mission planning, orbital analysis, and fleet operations. It provides real-time tracking, orbit visualization, pass predictions, and data management, with tools designed for satellite operators, researchers, educators, and service providers to plan, simulate, and monitor orbital activities.

OrbitIt was developed by OrbitIt Technologies and first released in 2021. Since then, the product has expanded to include modules for orbit propagation, mission planning, ground station scheduling, and API-based automation. It has been adopted by universities for coursework and by small to mid-sized satellite operators for day-to-day operations.

Key features include ingestion of public orbital data such as TLEs, automatic updates of orbital states, and propagation using standard models like SGP4/SDP4. The platform offers 3D and 2D visualizations, track and pass predictions, ground station pass scheduling, collision and conjunction alerts, and deconfliction tools. It supports mission planning for injections, plane changes, and transfers, along with data management, versioning, audit trails, and REST APIs for automation and integration with external systems.

The architecture is cloud-native and multi-tenant, with role-based access control. The web interface is compatible with major browsers, and data can be exported in standard formats. OrbitIt emphasizes interoperability through standard data structures and integrations with external trackers and ground stations.

Reception notes the breadth of features and approachable user interface, while recognizing that accuracy depends on data quality and propagation assumptions. Like all orbit prediction tools, outputs carry inherent uncertainties and should be validated against ground truth data.
