2024-226B — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 62186)
Track 2024-226B (NORAD catalog number 62186) 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 226th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2024-226B). 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 8,673 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.31 km/s, 2024-226B flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 1,102 × 1,119 km, completing one revolution every 107.3 minutes — about 13.4 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0012). Inclined 50.0° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 50° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 28.0°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 3.66° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
2024-226B 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 2024-226B from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, 2024-226B 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.
