BRO-6 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 52422)
Track BRO-6 (NORAD catalog number 52422) 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 AE of 2022's 47th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2022-047AE). As of this element set it had completed roughly 24,389 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.67 km/s, BRO-6 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 400 × 408 km, completing one revolution every 92.5 minutes — about 15.6 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0006). Inclined 97.3° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 343.2°. Earth's equatorial bulge precesses that plane eastward about 1.03° per day, matching the Sun's apparent motion — which is what holds its lighting constant.

About the Other Active Satellites group
BRO-6 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 BRO-6 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, BRO-6 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.
