Where is Starman?

Where is Starman? is a public tracking website that monitors the location and trajectory of the Tesla Roadster and Starman mannequin launched aboard the first Falcon Heavy rocket on February 6, 2018. It solves the problem of providing real-time and historical positional data for this deep-space object, which is not covered by typical satellite tracking services.

The site displays the vehicle’s current distance and speed relative to Earth, Mars, and the Sun, along with its orbital period, number of orbits completed, and derived figures such as warranty mileage exceeded and fuel economy. It includes interactive plots for location, close approaches, simulated views, and distance plots. Additional sections cover long-term future predictions, a simulated view of Starman in the sky, and a mission-planning tool. The site also features pages for other space missions, including inner and outer solar system probes.

The website is free to use and publicly accessible without registration or payment. It is designed for space enthusiasts, amateur astronomers, and anyone curious about the Roadster’s journey. No paid plans, trials, or seat-based pricing are mentioned; the site is supported by optional donations via PayPal and Patreon, and offers a swag store and Tesla referral code.
