In addition, Celestrak.com is providing up-to-date data on the Iridium/Cosmos debris.

Courtesy of Dr. T.S. Kelso, the Celestrak website provides Keplerian elements for most satellites in low-earth orbit.

Based on this data, Rob Simpson of Orbiting Frog has released a Google Earth network link that you can find at http://orbitingfrog.com.

You will need to have Google Earth installed (downloaded) on your computer to access this file.

Once downloaded the file automatically updates the current orbital positions of the two debris streams left over by Iridium 33 and Cosmos 2351.
