DONGPO 01 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 53453)
Track DONGPO 01 (NORAD catalog number 53453) 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 K of 2022's 98th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2022-098K). 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 22,774 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.74 km/s, DONGPO 01 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 285 × 292 km, completing one revolution every 90.1 minutes — about 16.0 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0005). Inclined 97.6° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 30.3°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane eastward about 1.13° per day.

Can you see DONGPO 01 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, DONGPO 01 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.
