SITRO-AIS 43 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 61755)
Track SITRO-AIS 43 (NORAD catalog number 61755) 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 W of 2024's 199th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2024-199W). It went up together with 46 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 15,073 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.73 km/s, SITRO-AIS 43 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 306 × 309 km, completing one revolution every 90.5 minutes — about 15.9 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0002). Inclined 97.3° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 133.9°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane eastward about 1.07° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
SITRO-AIS 43 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 SITRO-AIS 43 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, SITRO-AIS 43 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.
