What Orbital Wiki (BYOK) is for

Orbital Wiki (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Orbital Wiki data through the Orbital Wiki API with a key you supply (Orbital Wiki API key (starts with ow_)). Read-only: 10 tools (list_satellites, get_satellite, get_satellite_tle, get_satellite_omm, search_satellites, list_operators, get_operator, list_reentries, get_catalog_stats, list_data_sources). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to www.orbitalwiki.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Orbital Wiki. Orbital Wiki and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Which operational satellites are in low Earth orbit?"
• "Give me the catalog record of the International Space Station"
• "What is the latest TLE of the ISS?"
• "Show the OMM orbital elements of satellite 25544"
• "Find satellites named Sentinel"
• "Which operators run the most satellites?"

What it does

• list_satellites: List satellites in the catalog with optional filters for orbit class, status, object class, country, active flag and a text query; paged with limit and offset.
• get_satellite: Get the full record of one satellite by NORAD catalog number, with provenance claims and source metadata.
• get_satellite_tle: Get the two-line element set of a satellite, rebuilt from stored mean elements; includes a stale warning when the elements are older than 3 days.
• get_satellite_omm: Get the CCSDS OMM JSON mean elements of a satellite (use when a TLE cannot represent the object).
• search_satellites: Search the catalog by name, NORAD id, COSPAR id, operator or country, with optional orbit class and status filters.
• list_operators: List satellite operators aggregated from the payload catalog, ranked by number of active satellites.
• get_operator: Get one operator by its slug with a paged list of its satellites.
• list_reentries: List objects marked as decayed, with the newest catalog change first.
• get_catalog_stats: Get the catalog summary: counts by object class, status and coverage.
• list_data_sources: List the data sources behind the catalog with their license and the attribution text each requires.

BYOK key

You bring your own Orbital Wiki Orbital Wiki API key (starts with ow_) (https://www.orbitalwiki.com/developers). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to www.orbitalwiki.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

• https://www.orbitalwiki.com/developers (the API this connector calls, with a BYOK key)

Orbital Wiki (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Orbital Wiki (BYOK) is. Orbital Wiki (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Orbital Wiki data: Read the Orbital Wiki open satellite catalog: satellite records, orbital elements (TLE and OMM), operators and re-entries with your own API key. You bring your own Orbital Wiki Orbital Wiki API key (starts with ow_); the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Orbital Wiki call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to www.orbitalwiki.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If Orbital Wiki rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What Orbital Wiki receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under Orbital Wiki's own terms and privacy policy. Orbital Wiki acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Orbital Wiki gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your Orbital Wiki data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. Orbital Wiki (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at Orbital Wiki at any time to end all access.

Children. Orbital Wiki (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under Orbital Wiki's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
