Have a look at NASA's J-TRACK 3D java applet (go to the URL above, 
and look for the J-TRACK 3D link at the lower right of the page).
The applet takes awhile to load, but it is amazing - allowing you to track
ANY satellite (as well as other orbiting bodies like the shuttle, MIR and
the first chunk of the International Space Station) in real time as it
orbits the earth. You can zoom in/out, rotate the planet, and get quite
detailed info on every body (tho most of the military satellites have
minimal info :-)
