STARLINK-36444 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 67521)
Track STARLINK-36444 (NORAD catalog number 67521) 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 AE of 2026's 12th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2026-012AE). It went up together with 28 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.
Moving at about 7.62 km/s, STARLINK-36444 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 490 × 491 km, completing one revolution every 94.3 minutes — about 15.3 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0001). 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 9.9°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 5.64° per day.

About the Starlink group
STARLINK-36444 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-36444 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, STARLINK-36444 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.
