Satellite Command is an orbital ground station: satellites tracked across a world map, live-looking telemetry gauges, a signal spectrum and a recurring “unknown transmission” beat. It has a clean aerospace feel — mission control without the noise.
What makes Satellite Command different
Satellite Command is the clean aerospace scene: satellites tracked across a world map, live-looking telemetry gauges, a signal spectrum and a recurring “unknown transmission” beat. It shares Military Intelligence’s sober mission-control tone but points it at orbit rather than the ground — mission control without the noise.
What you can do with it
- An aerospace or space-mission prop for videos and short films
- A believable tracking screen for sci-fi scenes and streams
- An ambient telemetry display for a second monitor
How to use Satellite Command
- Press number keys 1–9 (or the action buttons) to fire beats — UPLINK ESTABLISHED, TELEMETRY LOST, UNKNOWN SIGNAL, ORBIT CORRECTION, RE-ENTRY WARNING and more; the link status responds to each.
- Watch the live gauges and the mission-elapsed-time clock tick as the orbit rings track across the map.
- In Customize, set the spacecraft callsign and orbit-epoch label and choose how many orbit rings to draw.
- Press Fullscreen (or add ?present=1) for a clean tracking-screen backdrop.
Customize it
Set the spacecraft callsign and orbit-epoch label, choose the number of orbit rings (2–6), and tune the background activity frequency.
Is it tracking real satellites?
No. The orbits, telemetry and transmissions are all fictional animations. No live data, GPS or network is used.
What is the “unknown transmission”?
It is a scripted story beat for atmosphere — a mysterious signal that periodically appears. Nothing is actually being received.
