ASBM-2 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 60423)

Track ASBM-2 (NORAD catalog number 60423) 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 B of 2024's 143rd orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2024-143B). 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 1,341 revolutions of Earth.

Its speed swings from 1.86 km/s at apogee to 6.68 km/s at perigee. ASBM-2 follows a highly elliptical orbit, completing a revolution every 16.0 hours. The orbit is strongly elliptical (eccentricity 0.5651): each revolution swings from 7,621 km at perigee out to 43,987 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 40.8°.

About the Other Active Satellites group

ASBM-2 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 ASBM-2 from the ground?

Not with the naked eye. At its altitude ASBM-2 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 the “When can I see it?” panel in the live view.
