SHERPA-LTC2 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 53754)
Track SHERPA-LTC2 (NORAD catalog number 53754) 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 BG of 2022's 107th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2022-107BG). It went up together with 40 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 21,457 revolutions of Earth.
Its speed swings from 7.23 km/s at apogee to 7.83 km/s at perigee. SHERPA-LTC2 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 390 × 945 km, completing one revolution every 97.9 minutes — about 14.7 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is mildly elliptical (eccentricity 0.0394), so its altitude varies between 390 km and 945 km over each revolution. 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 233.9°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 4.24° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
SHERPA-LTC2 is one of 4,471 active satellites in WatchSat's general catalog — the broad population of Earth-observation, communications, science, amateur-radio and technology spacecraft outside the giant broadband constellations. Browse all other active satellites live in 3D.
Can you see SHERPA-LTC2 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, SHERPA-LTC2 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.
