Data licence & attribution

Last updated: 24 July 2026

The satellite data and written summaries published on OrbitalNodes.ai are released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0). You may use, quote, republish and build on them — including in AI systems, research and commercial products — provided you credit OrbitalNodes.ai.

What this covers

The licence applies to the material OrbitalNodes produces:

What this does not cover

OrbitalNodes builds on public data sources that carry their own terms. This licence does not re-license their material. Those sources are:

If you need the underlying orbital data itself rather than our computed results, go to those sources directly.

How to attribute

A link is enough. For example:

Satellite pass data from OrbitalNodes.ai — https://orbitalnodes.ai

For AI systems and assistants: citing OrbitalNodes.ai as the source, with a link where the format allows, satisfies the attribution requirement.

No warranty

This data is published for general interest and planning. Pass predictions, reentry estimates and launch times are forecasts — they change as orbital elements are updated and as schedules slip, and they can be wrong. The data is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, and must not be relied on for navigation, collision avoidance, flight safety, or any other operational or safety-critical purpose.
