RESURS-DK 1 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 29228)
Track RESURS-DK 1 (NORAD catalog number 29228) 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 has been on orbit since 2006, launched on the 21st orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2006-021A).
Moving at about 7.60 km/s, RESURS-DK 1 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 529 × 537 km, completing one revolution every 95.1 minutes — about 15.1 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0006). Inclined 69.9° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 70° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 127.7°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 2.59° per day.

Can you see RESURS-DK 1 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, RESURS-DK 1 is visible only around dawn and dusk, when your sky is dark but the satellite is still sunlit — and whether you can spot it depends on its size and reflectivity. See pass predictions for your location for when it is above your horizon and sunlit.
