The sky, fully indexed.
Astral Archive gathers NASA and CNSA mission records, all 88 IAU constellations, deep-sky catalogues and peer-reviewed literature into one calm professional workspace — rendered live, and cited at the source.
Mission records from NASA · CNSA · ESA · ISRO · JAXA
Modules
Nine instruments. One archive.
Every module loads on demand, so the home page never pulls in a sky renderer it does not need. Heavy tools open on their own page, wrapped in a frosted shell that isolates their styles from ours.
Missions
A curated set of notable flights from NASA, CNSA, ESA, JAXA, ISRO and commercial operators — launch windows, payloads, orbits and outcomes, filterable by agency and decade.
NativeConstellations
All 88 IAU constellations on an interactive planetarium sky, with boundary lines, proper names and deep-sky overlays.
Astral PlanetariumOrrery
The eight planets on their real orbits at the real date, each placed from its own Keplerian elements rather than a drawn ellipse. Drag to fly around the system, or run the clock.
NativeSky Map
The whole sky on one chart — every star to sixth magnitude, all 88 constellations, the Messier catalogue and the Milky Way band, in six whole-sky projections.
NativeDeep Sky
Pan and zoom the sky across 21 survey bands, from optical through infrared to high energy, with a 101-object index and cross-matches resolved as you move.
Astral Sky AtlasLibrary
Search a 64-record preprint index by title, author, keyword or abstract, with subject class, citation count and a citation you can copy in one click.
Astral Preprint IndexLive Tracker
Propagate ten tracked objects every second from a dated element snapshot, with element age, position uncertainty and ground tracks in view.
Astral Orbit EngineCalendar
What is worth going outside for: new and full Moons, eclipses, oppositions, transits and the major meteor showers — solved in your browser for any window.
NativeMission Console
Telemetry-style dashboards for active missions: rearrange panels, read reconstructed subsystem status, scrub through mission time and follow the event log.
Astral Mission ConsoleMembership
Two ways to look up.
Everything in the archive is open to read. Membership raises the resolution — of the sky tiles, of the surveys, and of the telemetry. Institutional access for observatories and universities is arranged separately.
