STARLINK-31704 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 59586)

Track STARLINK-31704 (NORAD catalog number 59586) 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 Y of 2024's 76th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2024-076Y). It went up together with 22 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.

Moving at about 7.73 km/s, STARLINK-31704 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 318 × 357 km, completing one revolution every 91.1 minutes — about 15.8 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0029). Its 43.0° inclination keeps its ground track over the tropics and lower mid-latitudes. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 78.2°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 6.11° per day.

About the Starlink group

STARLINK-31704 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-31704 from the ground?

Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, STARLINK-31704 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.
