This made me look up a link to my old favourite for this kind of thing, CelesTrak.org . Unfortunately, they discontinued their visualizer due to licensing problems.

For posterity, this was the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC90GyHMabk

The announcement is here: https://twitter.com/CelesTrak/status/1547264390650527744

For now, the person behind it's got a (informative) error message showing up: https://celestrak.com/cesium/orbit-viz.php

He's asking for donations, might be worth it. It was a good tool.




The ask comes from T.S. Kelso who is well regarded in the orbit tracking/space debris field. He's done a lot of important work making this information public and a lot of public good for collision avoidance. If it's important to you feel free to offer support! It's not clear to me he's asking for money, probably just help and time.
