STARLINK-4402 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 53509)
Track STARLINK-4402 (NORAD catalog number 53509) 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 AW of 2022's 99th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2022-099AW). It went up together with 36 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.
Moving at about 7.69 km/s, STARLINK-4402 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 368 × 370 km, completing one revolution every 91.8 minutes — about 15.7 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0002). Inclined 97.6° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 19.6°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane eastward about 1.09° per day.

About the Starlink group
STARLINK-4402 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-4402 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, STARLINK-4402 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.
