STARLINK-38010 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 69727)

Track STARLINK-38010 (NORAD catalog number 69727) 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 Z of 2026's 147th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2026-147Z). It went up together with 23 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 1,233 revolutions of Earth.

Moving at about 7.70 km/s, STARLINK-38010 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 350 × 352 km, completing one revolution every 91.4 minutes — about 15.8 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0001). Inclined 97.3° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 289.1°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane eastward about 1.05° per day.

About the Starlink group

STARLINK-38010 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-38010 from the ground?

Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, STARLINK-38010 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.
