ASTRANIS UTILITYSAT — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 62454)
Track ASTRANIS UTILITYSAT (NORAD catalog number 62454) 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 252nd orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2024-252A). It went up together with 3 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 624 revolutions of Earth.
Its speed swings from 1.15 km/s at apogee to 8.23 km/s at perigee. ASTRANIS UTILITYSAT follows a highly elliptical orbit, completing a revolution every 23.9 hours. The orbit is strongly elliptical (eccentricity 0.7549): each revolution swings from 3,963 km at perigee out to 67,609 km at apogee. Its near-equatorial 9.1° inclination keeps it above the tropics at all times. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 324.6°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 0.07° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
ASTRANIS UTILITYSAT 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 ASTRANIS UTILITYSAT from the ground?
Not with the naked eye. At its altitude ASTRANIS UTILITYSAT 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.
