SORAYA — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 58817)
Track SORAYA (NORAD catalog number 58817) 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 2024, launched on the 15th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2024-015A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 13,862 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.49 km/s, SORAYA flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 749 × 764 km, completing one revolution every 99.8 minutes — about 14.4 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0010). Inclined 64.5° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 65° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 202.3°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 2.91° per day.

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