HULIANWANG JISHU SHIYAN 8A — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 68687)
Track HULIANWANG JISHU SHIYAN 8A (NORAD catalog number 68687) 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 78th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2026-078A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 2,566 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.27 km/s, HULIANWANG JISHU SHIYAN 8A flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 1,174 × 1,177 km, completing one revolution every 108.7 minutes — about 13.2 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0002). Inclined 86.5° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 239.9°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 0.34° per day.

Can you see HULIANWANG JISHU SHIYAN 8A from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, HULIANWANG JISHU SHIYAN 8A 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 the “When can I see it?” panel in the live view for when it is above your horizon and sunlit.
