Satellite positions are now filtered from the track endpoints, if the vessel has a recent position from onshore or offshore receivers. The satellite message has lower position precision, so the position from onshore or offshore recievers is the preferred position.

A filterSatellitePositions query parameter has been added to the /v1/historic/tracks/{mmsi}/{fromDate}/{toDate} endpoint, if you want to disable the filter and get all positions: https://historic.ais.barentswatch.no/index.html
