TIANPING-3A 02 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 63432)
Track TIANPING-3A 02 (NORAD catalog number 63432) 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 2025, launched on the 68th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2025-068A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 7,758 revolutions of Earth.
Its speed swings from 7.37 km/s at apogee to 7.73 km/s at perigee. TIANPING-3A 02 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 456 × 787 km, completing one revolution every 97.0 minutes — about 14.8 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is mildly elliptical (eccentricity 0.0237), so its altitude varies between 456 km and 787 km over each revolution. Its 43.0° inclination keeps its ground track over the tropics and lower mid-latitudes. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 332.7°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 5.29° per day.

Can you see TIANPING-3A 02 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, TIANPING-3A 02 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.
