StarDash is a free, personal project that displays live (and archived) Starship telemetry data from SpaceX's API. There are no accounts, no sign-ups and nothing to fill in, so there’s not a whole lot to say here!
What data does StarDash collect?
Nothing. This site has no analytics, no tracking pixels, no advertising and no cookies of its own. I have no clue who you are, I can't tell one visitor from another, and I have no way to contact you unless you email me yourself.
What your browser keeps
The dashboard saves a little data in your own browser so it looks the same when you come back. For example, your theme and map choices, which chart view you were using, and a short buffer of the flight data already on screen so a reload is instant. All of it stays on your device. None of it is sent to me or to anyone else, and you can wipe it at any time with Reset local storage in the settings panel, or by clearing site data in your browser.
Hosting
StarDash runs on Cloudflare. Like every web host, Cloudflare records basic request information such as your IP address for security and to keep the service running. I do not use those records to build any picture of who visits, and I do not export or share them.
Other services the page loads
Some parts of the dashboard are drawn using services I do not run. When one of them loads, your browser talks to it directly, and it will see your IP address and which browser you are using, the same as visiting any website. These are:
- CARTO and EOX, which supply the map and satellite imagery on the ground track and 3D views.
- jsDelivr and unpkg, which supply the mapping and 3D code libraries the dashboard is built on.
- YouTube and X, on the Live Stream tab only, where the launch broadcast and mission updates are embedded. These are the only pieces here that may store data on your device, and only once one of them loads or you press play. Their own privacy policies apply to them. Stay off that tab and neither is ever contacted.
This page itself loads none of them.
The flight data
The telemetry the site records and offers for download is SpaceX's published vehicle data: where the ship was, speed, altitude, etc. It contains nothing about the people looking at it.
Children
The site is for a general audience and collects nothing from anyone, of any age.
Changes and contact
If any of the above changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top will update as such. Feel free to send any questions, feature requests, or feedback to [email protected].
