EUTELSAT 10B — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 54259)
Track EUTELSAT 10B (NORAD catalog number 54259) 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 has been on orbit since 2022, launched on the 157th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2022-157A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 1,384 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 3.07 km/s, EUTELSAT 10B sits in the geostationary belt roughly 35,786 km above the equator, where its 23.9-hour orbit matches Earth's rotation — seen from the ground it stays parked over the same longitude around the clock. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0001). Its near-equatorial 0.1° inclination keeps it above the tropics at all times. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 101.2°.

About the Other Active Satellites group
EUTELSAT 10B 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 EUTELSAT 10B from the ground?
Not with the naked eye. At its altitude EUTELSAT 10B is far beyond unaided visibility — following satellites this high takes a telescope and good timing. You can still track it precisely in the live 3D view above, or check pass predictions for your location.
