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 32 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.

Moving at about 7.72 km/s, STARLINK-4402 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 310 × 311 km, completing one revolution every 90.6 minutes — about 15.9 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0001). Inclined 97.6° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 68.1°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane eastward about 1.12° per day.

About the Starlink group

STARLINK-4402 is one of 11,148 SpaceX Starlink broadband satellites in the current WatchSat catalog — the largest satellite constellation ever flown. Its satellites fly in low-Earth-orbit shells, at a median altitude of about 470 km in this catalog. 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 the “When can I see it?” panel in the live view for when it is above your horizon and sunlit.
