ALICE — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 39467)
Track ALICE (NORAD catalog number 39467) 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 F of 2013's 72nd orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2013-072F). It went up together with 3 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.
Moving at about 7.72 km/s, ALICE flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 425 × 661 km, completing one revolution every 95.4 minutes — about 15.1 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0170). Inclined 120.5° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 251.6°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane eastward about 3.81° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
ALICE is one of 4,471 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 ALICE from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, ALICE 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.
