Astrodynamics, made approachable.

Imagine Space provides modern data services for orbital mechanics — a clean front-end to CelesTrak, plus tools to identify satellites, determine orbits, and solve plates.

Services

The common problems, solved well.

Orbit determination

Refine state vectors from observations. Batch and sequential estimators with realistic force models.

Satellite identification

Match unknown tracks to the catalog. Probabilistic association across TLEs and ephemerides.

Plate solving

Astrometric calibration for ground and space imagery. Returns WCS, scale, and per-source residuals.

Custom astrodynamics

Maneuver planning, conjunction analysis, lifetime estimation — built around your mission.

Data platform

A modern front-end to CelesTrak.

We index, normalize, and serve the catalogs you already rely on — through a fast query interface and a typed API. No more parsing fixed-width files by hand.

  • Live TLE and OMM feeds across all CelesTrak groups
  • Search by NORAD ID, name, launch year, or orbital regime
  • REST and JSON endpoints with stable schemas
  • Historical snapshots for back-testing and reproducibility

About

Operators, researchers, and builders shouldn't have to write a propagator to answer a simple question about a satellite. We're making the basics of astrodynamics feel like everyday infrastructure.
