CATSAT — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 60246)

Track CATSAT (NORAD catalog number 60246) 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 J of 2024's 125th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2024-125J). It went up together with 4 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 12,711 revolutions of Earth.

Moving at about 7.72 km/s, CATSAT flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 321 × 338 km, completing one revolution every 91.0 minutes — about 15.8 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0013). Inclined 97.2° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 149.8°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane eastward about 1.05° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group

CATSAT is one of 4,802 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 CATSAT from the ground?

Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, CATSAT 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.
