STARLINK-5296 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 55312)

Track STARLINK-5296 (NORAD catalog number 55312) 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 AV of 2023's 10th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2023-010AV). It went up together with 45 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.

Moving at about 7.63 km/s, STARLINK-5296 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 475 × 479 km, completing one revolution every 94.0 minutes — about 15.3 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0003). Inclined 70.0° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 70° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 153.4°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 2.66° per day.

About the Starlink group

STARLINK-5296 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-5296 from the ground?

Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, STARLINK-5296 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.
