We Rebuilt Our Orbital Trace Engine

May 8, 2025

Engineering has shipped a from-scratch rebuild of our orbital trace engine, and it is a beauty. Smoother arcs, snappier pings, a more suspenseful countdown to LOCK ACQUIRED, and a reveal with better comedic timing. All of it runs right in your browser.

Under the hood we doubled down on the only spec that matters: it computes no real location and sends no data anywhere. The upgrade made the theatre better and kept the storage at absolute zero, which is exactly the balance we were aiming for.

The new engine is live on the tracker now. Take it for a spin, ideally aimed at a gullible friend, and admire the fresh easing curves while the coordinates cheerfully lie to you.
