XINZHENGCHENG-01 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 68412)
Track XINZHENGCHENG-01 (NORAD catalog number 68412) 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 has been on orbit since 2026, launched on the 66th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2026-066A). It went up together with 2 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 2,390 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.57 km/s, XINZHENGCHENG-01 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 593 × 627 km, completing one revolution every 96.7 minutes — about 14.9 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0024). Inclined 85.0° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 175.7°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 0.64° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
XINZHENGCHENG-01 is one of 4,471 active satellites in WatchSat's general catalog — the broad population of Earth-observation, communications, science, amateur-radio and technology spacecraft outside the giant broadband constellations. Browse all other active satellites live in 3D.
Can you see XINZHENGCHENG-01 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, XINZHENGCHENG-01 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.
