KNACKSAT-2 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 67683)
Track KNACKSAT-2 (NORAD catalog number 67683) 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 XZ of 1998's 67th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 1998-067XZ). It went up together with 13 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.
Moving at about 7.69 km/s, KNACKSAT-2 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 367 × 378 km, completing one revolution every 91.9 minutes — about 15.7 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0008). Inclined 51.6° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 52° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 243.1°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 5.09° per day.

Can you see KNACKSAT-2 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, KNACKSAT-2 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.
