SpaceX tracker: How to track Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster Starman?

The Falcon Heavy rocket aced its maiden flight by putting its unorthodox Tesla-shaped payload and its mannequin driver, Starman, into an elliptical orbit around the Sun.

Elon Musk’s old Tesla Roadster is is embarking on an incredible journey, travelling beyond Mars at aphelion – the most distant point from the sun – and near Earth’s orbit at perihelion – its closest solar approach.

Car and driver moved beyond Mars’ orbit in November 2018, and they are still out there now, more than 226 million miles (364 million km) from Earth, according to the tracking site whereisroadster.com.

And the Tesla Roadster will remain in deep space for a while yet, as its orbital period is about 557 Earth days.
