NANOFF B — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 58755)
Track NANOFF B (NORAD catalog number 58755) 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 S of 2023's 185th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2023-185S). It went up together with 8 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 14,628 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.61 km/s, NANOFF B flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 526 × 544 km, completing one revolution every 95.2 minutes — about 15.1 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0013). Its 97.5° retrograde, near-polar inclination is characteristic of a Sun-synchronous orbit — the type Earth-imaging and weather satellites use to revisit each spot at the same local solar time. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 316.6°. Earth's equatorial bulge precesses that plane eastward about 0.99° per day, matching the Sun's apparent motion — which is what holds its lighting constant.

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