2026-167B — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 100126)

Track 2026-167B (NORAD catalog number 100126) live on the WatchSat interactive 3D globe above. Its position is propagated in real time from the latest CelesTrak two-line element set using the SGP4/SDP4 orbital model — the same math professional trackers run. It is object B of 2026's 167th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2026-167B). It went up together with 3 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 117 revolutions of Earth.

Its speed swings from 1.38 km/s at apogee to 9.61 km/s at perigee. 2026-167B follows a highly elliptical orbit, completing a revolution every 14.5 hours. The orbit is strongly elliptical (eccentricity 0.7496): each revolution swings from 1,182 km at perigee out to 46,407 km at apogee. Its 23.9° inclination keeps its ground track over the tropics and lower mid-latitudes. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 81.0°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 0.21° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group

2026-167B is one of 4,802 active satellites in WatchSat's general catalog — the broad population of Earth-observation, communications, science, amateur-radio and technology spacecraft outside the giant broadband constellations. Browse all other active satellites live in 3D.

Can you see 2026-167B from the ground?

Not with the naked eye. At its altitude 2026-167B is far beyond unaided visibility — following satellites this high takes a telescope and good timing. You can still track it precisely in the live 3D view above, or check the “When can I see it?” panel in the live view.
