ASBM-1 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 60422)
Track ASBM-1 (NORAD catalog number 60422) 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 143rd orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2024-143A). It went up together with 1 other satellite from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 1,272 revolutions of Earth.
Its speed swings from 1.86 km/s at apogee to 6.66 km/s at perigee. ASBM-1 follows a highly elliptical orbit, completing a revolution every 16.0 hours. The orbit is strongly elliptical (eccentricity 0.5636): each revolution swings from 7,669 km at perigee out to 43,939 km at apogee. Inclined 62.9° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 63° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 42.6°.

This page's orbital elements come from the CelesTrak catalog of 2026-09-08. The live 3D view above fetches its own current CelesTrak data when the page opens, through an edge cache that refreshes roughly every 30 minutes.
About the Other Active Satellites group
ASBM-1 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 ASBM-1 from the ground?
Not with the naked eye. At its altitude ASBM-1 is far beyond unaided visibility — following satellites this high takes a telescope and good timing. You can still track it precisely in the live 3D view above, or check pass predictions for your location.
