PROPCUBE 1 (FLORA) — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 40976)
Track PROPCUBE 1 (FLORA) (NORAD catalog number 40976) 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 N of 2015's 58th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2015-058N). It went up together with 11 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.
Moving at about 7.66 km/s, PROPCUBE 1 (FLORA) flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 511 × 702 km, completing one revolution every 96.7 minutes — about 14.9 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0137). Inclined 64.8° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 65° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 42.3°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 3.10° per day.

Can you see PROPCUBE 1 (FLORA) from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, PROPCUBE 1 (FLORA) 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.
