| Endpoint | Price | What it answers |
|---|---|---|
GET /decay-risk | $0.03 | Screen a CelesTrak group for low-perigee objects (default under 250 km). A heuristic flag, not a re-entry prediction. |
GET /ground-track-period | $0.02 | Ground-track westward shift per orbit and repeat-cycle estimate (orbits per days) from an orbital period in minutes. |
GET /group-summary | $0.03 | Object count, altitude and inclination ranges and orbit-class mix for a CelesTrak group (stations, starlink, gps-ops...). |
GET /orbit-class | $0.02 | Classify an orbit as LEO, MEO, GEO, HEO or beyond-GEO from altitude, with SSO, GTO and Molniya hints and a period check. |
GET /satellite-compare | $0.03 | Compare two satellites by NORAD id side by side: period, altitudes, inclination, node and orbit class. |
GET /satellite-elements | $0.02 | Current orbital elements for a NORAD id with computed period, semi-major axis, perigee and apogee altitude. |
GET /satellite-search | $0.02 | Find satellites by name in the CelesTrak catalog: NORAD id, international designator, epoch and orbit class. |
GET /catalog returns this list as JSON. Activity hub · uptime.
Orbital elements are CelesTrak general-perturbations data, provided as is; derived altitudes are mean-element estimates, not tracking data. Decay screens are heuristics, not predictions. No positions or passes are provided. Not for navigation, collision avoidance or operations. Every paid response carries a disclaimer field.
