2024-199AS — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 61775)

Track 2024-199AS (NORAD catalog number 61775) 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 AS of 2024's 199th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2024-199AS). It went up together with 42 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 15,365 revolutions of Earth.

Moving at about 7.67 km/s, 2024-199AS flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 420 × 439 km, completing one revolution every 93.0 minutes — about 15.5 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0013). Its 97.3° retrograde, near-polar inclination is characteristic of a Sun-synchronous orbit — the type Earth-imaging and weather satellites use to revisit each spot at the same local solar time. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 167.3°. Earth's equatorial bulge precesses that plane eastward about 1.01° per day, matching the Sun's apparent motion — which is what holds its lighting constant.

About the Other Active Satellites group

2024-199AS 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 2024-199AS from the ground?

Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, 2024-199AS 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.
