GLOBAL-31 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 63027)
Track GLOBAL-31 (NORAD catalog number 63027) 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 2025's 33rd orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2025-033B). As of this element set it had completed roughly 8,676 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.65 km/s, GLOBAL-31 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 446 × 466 km, completing one revolution every 93.6 minutes — about 15.4 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0015). Inclined 59.0° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 59° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 349.4°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 4.05° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
GLOBAL-31 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 GLOBAL-31 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, GLOBAL-31 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.
