SPACE OBJECT CLASSES
Use the same SATCAT classes as Control Center. Select groups to recolor. Use FILTER · SELECTED CLASSES to show only those groups. Original Earth colors remain the default.
OWNER COUNTRY · SATCAT
Select countries by their owner code. Country-only filtering works; combine with ACTIVE, DEBRIS and other classes if needed. These are ownership countries, not countries directly below the satellite.

Colors only · all classes visible.
ACTIVEOperational payload: a satellite currently classified as functioning, partially operational or in reserve.
INACTIVEPayload no longer operational; still orbiting unless marked as decayed.
ROCKET BODIESSpent launch-vehicle stages or other catalogued rocket bodies.
SPACE DEBRISCatalogued fragments and other orbital debris, not functioning spacecraft.
UNKNOWNCatalogued object whose type could not be reliably identified.
PAYLOAD · STATUS UNKNOWNRecognized spacecraft with no verified operational status in the available SATCAT data.
Waiting for orbital catalog…
Color controls affect the existing object renderer and class-colored histograms. They do not filter objects or add API calls.

All enabled ranges intersect with altitude and mission filters. Speeds and orbital extrema are estimates derived from OMM elements, not measurements. Drag either handle or type a bound to snap to the nearest published value.
