HJS-9A — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 68831)
Track HJS-9A (NORAD catalog number 68831) 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 91st orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2026-091A). It went up together with 3 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 2,067 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.61 km/s, HJS-9A flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 510 × 520 km, completing one revolution every 94.8 minutes — about 15.2 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0007). Inclined 55.0° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 55° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 23.2°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 4.37° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
HJS-9A 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 HJS-9A from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, HJS-9A 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.
