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. As of this element set it had completed roughly 4,326 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.58 km/s, STARLINK-35896 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 577 × 582 km, completing one revolution every 96.1 minutes — about 15.0 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0004). 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 236.9°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 2.52° per day.

About the Starlink group
STARLINK-35896 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-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 pass predictions for your location for when it is above your horizon and sunlit.
