NASA hopes we enjoy J-Track 3-D.

Clicking on the thumbnail below or here or there will activate JTrack3D and it will appear in its own window and begin loading a database of over 900 satellites.

What you will see (presuming the system you’re on supports Java) is a plot in 3-dimensions showing the position of these satellites. Choose them all from the pull-down menu.

If your system isn’t currently supporting Java, skip the conniption, there are also some satellites that can be viewed without it:
