An interactive OSCARLOCATOR: a polar or QTH-centred azimuthal-equidistant map with the satellite's ground-track arc, a range circle over your station, and the satellite's footprint. Drive it live in real time, pin the equator crossing to a chosen longitude and step the minutes after the crossing, or jump to the next pass. Positions come from a verified SGP4/SDP4 propagator.
Drag the disc to rotate the arc by hand, or seed it to the next ascending pass over your station.

The next ten times the satellite rises above your horizon, with start (AOS), peak, end (LOS), duration, and maximum elevation. Higher max elevation means a stronger, longer pass. Use Seed to jump the map to that pass.

The first equator crossing of each UTC day for the loaded satellite: the time and longitude to set on a real OSCARLOCATOR. Northern-hemisphere stations use the ascending node; southern-hemisphere stations use the descending node — in both the polar and QTH-centred views — so the listed crossing always matches the pass you track.
