2022-098C — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 53446)
Track 2022-098C (NORAD catalog number 53446) 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 C of 2022's 98th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2022-098C). It went up together with 5 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 22,749 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.71 km/s, 2022-098C flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 332 × 333 km, completing one revolution every 91.0 minutes — about 15.8 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0000). Inclined 97.6° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 27.4°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane eastward about 1.10° per day.

Can you see 2022-098C from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, 2022-098C 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.
