STARLINK-4491 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 53408)
Track STARLINK-4491 (NORAD catalog number 53408) 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 W of 2022's 97th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2022-097W). It went up together with 46 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.
Moving at about 7.60 km/s, STARLINK-4491 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 530 × 530 km, completing one revolution every 95.1 minutes — about 15.1 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0000). Inclined 53.2° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 53° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 18.4°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 4.53° per day.

About the Starlink group
STARLINK-4491 is one of 10,717 SpaceX Starlink broadband satellites in the current WatchSat catalog — the largest satellite constellation ever flown. Starlink operates in low-Earth-orbit shells around 540–570 km. See the whole Starlink constellation move live in 3D.
Can you see STARLINK-4491 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, STARLINK-4491 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.
