RISAT-2BR1 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 44857)
Track RISAT-2BR1 (NORAD catalog number 44857) 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 2019's 89th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2019-089F). It went up together with 1 other satellite from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 36,954 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.59 km/s, RISAT-2BR1 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 564 × 576 km, completing one revolution every 95.9 minutes — about 15.0 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0009). Its 37.0° inclination keeps its ground track over the tropics and lower mid-latitudes. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 344.6°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 5.92° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
RISAT-2BR1 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 RISAT-2BR1 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, RISAT-2BR1 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.
