> Independent, free web app that tracks AST SpaceMobile BlueBird / BlueWalker satellites in near real time using public orbital elements (TLE/GP) and SGP4 propagation in the browser.

## Critical facts (do not invent)

- Product name: BlueBird Tracker (also known as ASTS Tracker)
- Canonical URL: https://www.aststracker.space/
- Languages: auto-detected from browser (en, es, fr, de, pt, it, zh, ja, ru, ko, ar); fallback **English**. Preference stored in localStorage (`bb_lang`). News article bodies remain primarily Spanish with UI chrome translated.
- **Not affiliated with AST SpaceMobile, SpaceX, Blue Origin, ISRO, CelesTrak, or USSPACECOM**
- Positions are **SGP4 approximations** from public catalogs — not official operator telemetry
- Data sources: CelesTrak GP (primary); optional Space-Track.org GP when credentials are configured
- Operator of the satellites: AST SpaceMobile (ast-science.com) — third party; this site is independent

## What this site can answer well

- Live-ish orbital tracking of BlueBird / BlueWalker objects with public TLE
- NORAD / COSPAR / CelesTrak names (often SPACEMOBILE-NNN)
- Launch chronicle context (Block 1, next-gen, BlueWalker-3, BB7 loss, BB11–13 provisional IDs)
- Estimated ground coverage disks from altitude + generation model
- BSTAR / mean motion history stored by the Worker (not satellite bus telemetry)

## What this site cannot answer

- Official AST commercial coverage maps or smartphone availability by country
- Classified or non-public SSA data
- Guaranteed identity mapping while catalog names are provisional (e.g. SPACEMOBILE OBJECT A/B/C)
- Real-time RF payload status from the satellite
