PALISADE — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 44634)
Track PALISADE (NORAD catalog number 44634) 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 2019, launched on the 69th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2019-069A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 32,984 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.25 km/s, PALISADE flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 1,216 × 1,230 km, completing one revolution every 109.8 minutes — about 13.1 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0009). Inclined 87.9° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 263.4°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 0.20° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
PALISADE 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 PALISADE from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, PALISADE 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.
