When the program is running, in-orbit satellite constellation is displayed at user’s choice.  By clicking on a single satellite image on the interface screen, the detailed information of the satellite is presented.


In-Orbit Satellite Database (ISD) and program provides detailed information and statistics of satellites in geo-stationary orbit. The information includes spacecraft properties and communications system characteristics. The in-orbit satellites are also related to their ITU filings. The transponder frequency plans and footprints are presented in graphics.  Annual subscription of ISD allows you obtain detailed, accurate and timely information about the status of geo-stationary orbit.
