What is the Operations Tracker?

The Operations Tracker gives you the ability to visualize the planets, moons, asteroids, vessels and crew that exist in the Kerbal Space Agency universe. Instead of having to be told constantly what is happening at any given time, you can come here and see for yourself! Think of it as live streaming, but all the time.

The real-time views of the Operations Tracker work similar to how Kerbal Space Program works. Keplerian orbital elements are saved for the vessel/body/asteroid/etc at a given state and the position, altitude and velocity are all extrapolated based on the current time since that data was stored. There is no server-side KSP game running all the time, you're simply seeing various states projected out to real time. This image will provide an example of how the Operation Tracker's calculations match up to what is happening at that same point in time during the game:

In addition to letting you know where a vessel or body is or what a crew member is currently doing, the Operations Tracker also provides additional information to help keep track of missions and generally help you to stay on top of what's going on in the Kerbol System (and beyond?)
