The orbital data of all satellites is publicly available. It is calculated by the US space force (formerly US air force) spacetrack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Space_Surveillance_Network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Space_Surveillan... .
You can get the data via several public websites. Here for example are the current orbital elements of all starlink sats in JSON format:
https://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=starlink&FORMAT=json https://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=starlink&F...
This is raw data. If you want somebody that processes this data into easily digestable graphs, that also exists.

It is not even that hard to display it yourself. Propagation libraries for most major language exist. Here is a display of all active sats, using wasm and rust that I did as a toy: https://rklaehn.ddns.net/allsats/ https://rklaehn.ddns.net/allsats/
