NINGXIA-1 2 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 44780)
Track NINGXIA-1 2 (NORAD catalog number 44780) 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 2019's 76th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2019-076B). It went up together with 4 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 34,937 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.41 km/s, NINGXIA-1 2 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 889 × 898 km, completing one revolution every 102.7 minutes — about 14.0 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0006). Inclined 45.0° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 45° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 173.5°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 4.47° per day.

Can you see NINGXIA-1 2 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, NINGXIA-1 2 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.
