XRISM — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 57800)
Track XRISM (NORAD catalog number 57800) 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 2023, launched on the 137th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2023-137A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 16,528 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.60 km/s, XRISM flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 529 × 539 km, completing one revolution every 95.2 minutes — about 15.1 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0007). Its 31.0° inclination keeps its ground track over the tropics and lower mid-latitudes. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 188.5°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 6.47° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
XRISM 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 XRISM from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, XRISM 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.
