Connect KeepTrack Space Intelligence to your AI client once. After that, you can pull specific orbital data using natural language.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How do I find satellite NORAD IDs and launch info?

Tell your AI what object you are looking for. It will use the connector to find the NORAD ID, the country that launched it, and its specific launch details. You'll get a clean summary of the orbital data immediately.

The data you receive

What your AI finds

The AI handles the heavy lifting of searching the database so you get the exact facts you need.

IDENTIFICATION

Exact NORAD IDs

The AI finds the specific identification numbers for any orbital object you name. This ensures you are tracking the right piece of hardware.

ORIGIN

Country of origin

Your agent identifies which nation launched the object. This helps you quickly categorize assets by nationality.

HISTORY

Launch details

Get the specifics on when and how an object reached orbit. The AI pulls the relevant launch history for your report.

REVIEW

Human verification

You review the metadata the AI pulls. You decide if the data is sufficient for your specific tracking needs.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for orbital data.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and the space intelligence database.

  1. Locate the object

    The AI searches the orbital database to find the specific satellite or object you mentioned.

    search_satellites

  2. Pull full metadata

    Once the object is found, the AI grabs the deep technical details like origin and launch info.

    get_satellite_details

  3. Filter the results

    The AI narrows down the search if you provide partial names or specific orbital parameters.

    search_satellites

  4. Format the answer

    The AI presents the NORAD ID, country, and launch data in a readable format for you.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI update satellite orbital positions?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to read existing metadata, not change or update orbital data.

  • 02

    Can I use this to track real-time telemetry?

    No. This connector is for looking up registered metadata like NORAD IDs and launch history.

  • 03

    Does the AI need me to provide the NORAD ID?

    No. You can just provide the name of the satellite, and the AI will search for it.

  • 04

    Can the AI delete satellite records?

    No. The AI has no capability to delete or modify any data in the database.
