STARLINK-35896 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 66824)
Track STARLINK-35896 (NORAD catalog number 66824) 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 D of 2025's 280th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2025-280D). It went up together with 26 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.
Moving at about 7.59 km/s, STARLINK-35896 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 555 × 560 km, completing one revolution every 95.7 minutes — about 15.1 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0003). Inclined 70.0° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 70° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 125.8°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 2.55° per day.

About the Starlink group
STARLINK-35896 is one of 11,148 SpaceX Starlink broadband satellites in the current WatchSat catalog — the largest satellite constellation ever flown. Its satellites fly in low-Earth-orbit shells, at a median altitude of about 470 km in this catalog. See the whole Starlink constellation move live in 3D.
Can you see STARLINK-35896 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, STARLINK-35896 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 the “When can I see it?” panel in the live view for when it is above your horizon and sunlit.
