GoogleSatTrack v3.5
GoogleSatTrack was updated on last month. Sorry for my late annauncement ;-)
New features are ...
Static map mode:
Once the map is zoomed out and map area becomes smaller than "whole earth", the map stops it's moving and is centered at the point latitude and longitude are zero.
Full window mode:
If you click the check box labeled "full window" below the map, the map area fits to the browser window.
Have fun!

Satellites collision simulation on GoogleEarth
The Iridium communications satellite and Russian COSMOS satellite collided on Feb 10 16:59:00 UTC 2009.
ref.Spaceflight Now | Breaking News | Two satellites collide in orbit
I've calculated the orbits of the collided satellites and put them on GoogleEarth.
The time & place of the collision.
The animation starts 16:54:00 UTC, ends on 16:56:00 at the collision point. Vertical lines represents the time periods - 1sec from 16:55:50 to 16:56:10 and 10 sec in rest of the time.
