STARLINK-34689 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 64949)
Track STARLINK-34689 (NORAD catalog number 64949) 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 T of 2025's 158th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2025-158T). It went up together with 23 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.
Moving at about 7.62 km/s, STARLINK-34689 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 502 × 504 km, completing one revolution every 94.5 minutes — about 15.2 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0001). 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 108.8°. Earth's equatorial bulge precesses that plane eastward about 0.97° per day, matching the Sun's apparent motion — which is what holds its lighting constant.

About the Starlink group
STARLINK-34689 is one of 10,717 SpaceX Starlink broadband satellites in the current WatchSat catalog — the largest satellite constellation ever flown. Starlink operates in low-Earth-orbit shells around 540–570 km. See the whole Starlink constellation move live in 3D.
Can you see STARLINK-34689 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, STARLINK-34689 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. Newly launched batches are the exception — right after launch they can form a naked-eye Starlink train. Check the launch schedule for what just went up. See pass predictions for your location for when it is above your horizon and sunlit.
