Talk to the International Space Station — live voice conversations powered by real orbital data.
Experience a real conversation with the ISS. Ask about its orbit, speed, or what it sees below.
Call a Satellite is a real-time satellite tracker powered by SGP4 orbit propagation and live TLE data. Pick a satellite, see its position on a 3D globe, and have an AI-powered voice conversation about what it sees — right from your browser.

From classrooms to science centers, Call a Satellite turns complex orbital data into conversations anyone can have.
An interactive exhibit that visitors remember. No staff required—just a screen and microphone.
Bring STEM to life. Students ask real questions and get real answers about orbital mechanics.
A voice layer for live geospatial data—shipping routes, fleet tracking, weather systems, and more.
Interactive exhibit allowing visitors to have voice conversations with the International Space Station using live orbital data.

Call a Satellite has been featured in publications covering our work to make space more accessible.
"Call a Satellite" allows people to ask questions about the ISS and receive immediate responses using live orbital data and an AI speaker called Zarya.
Sacred Heart University's Discovery Science Center & Planetarium announced the pilot of an interactive space experience using live orbital data and voice AI.
Visitors can "speak" with the International Space Station as part of a pilot program called "Call a Satellite."
The exhibit gives visitors a simple way to engage with space infrastructure in real time through natural voice conversations.

The space economy is massive, yet it has almost no consumer interface. We're changing that—starting with a simple human moment: conversation.
This is the first step toward a future where anyone can interact with space infrastructure as naturally as making a phone call.
