CelesTrak: orbital element sets for Starlink, OneWeb, Kuiper and every constellation
CelesTrak, run by Dr. T.S. Kelso, publishes the general perturbation element sets (TLE, OMM, JSON, CSV) for every tracked satellite, grouped by constellation: Starlink, OneWeb, Kuiper, Iridium NEXT, Globalstar and more, plus operator-supplied supplemental data. Free, updated continuously.
OpenSN: open-source emulator for large LEO satellite networks
OpenSN, from Beihang University, emulates LEO satellite networks with one container per node so that real routing software runs on every satellite and gateway. It scales across machines and builds mega-constellations 5 to 10 times faster than StarryNet. Published in IEEE TPDS, August 2025.
starlink-client: Python library for the Starlink dish and account API
starlink-client (MIT, version 0.1.13, February 2025) wraps the Starlink terminal's local gRPC service and the account API in Python: account data, device location or H3 cell, network statistics, telemetry, and a remote reboot. Requires Python 3.9+.
Star Debug: open-source Starlink terminal manager for Android and iOS
Star Debug is a free, open-source Flutter app (Android and iOS) that reads the Starlink app's DebugData, shows terminal telemetry and alerts, and sends reboot, stow and GPS commands to the dish. 80 stars, last pushed August 2026, born from the Ukrainian volunteer initiative Narodnyi Starlink.
starlink-grpc-tools: the reference scripts for the Starlink dish's gRPC interface
The most used open-source toolkit for reading a Starlink terminal: Python scripts and a Docker image that pull status, obstruction, alert and history data from the dish's gRPC service and write it to text, InfluxDB, SQLite, MQTT or a Prometheus endpoint. Public domain, 706 stars, updated September 2026.
Hypatia: LEO satellite network simulation framework (ETH Zurich)
Hypatia is the reference open-source framework for simulating LEO networks: it generates a constellation and its routing over time (satgenpy), runs packet-level ns-3 simulations (ns3-sat-sim) and renders Cesium visualisations. From the IMC 2020 paper; 518 GitHub stars, last update May 2024.
