KUIPER-00112 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 65150)
Track KUIPER-00112 (NORAD catalog number 65150) 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 U of 2025's 171st orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2025-171U). It went up together with 23 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 5,975 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.54 km/s, KUIPER-00112 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 636 × 637 km, completing one revolution every 97.3 minutes — about 14.8 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0001). Inclined 51.9° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 52° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 74.3°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 4.42° per day.

Can you see KUIPER-00112 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, KUIPER-00112 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.
