ADRAS-J — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 58992)
Track ADRAS-J (NORAD catalog number 58992) 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 34th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2024-034A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 14,034 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.77 km/s, ADRAS-J flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 308 × 464 km, completing one revolution every 92.1 minutes — about 15.6 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0116). Inclined 98.2° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 293.5°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane eastward about 1.16° per day.

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