LINK — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 69792)
Track LINK (NORAD catalog number 69792) 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 152nd orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2026-152A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 1,038 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.73 km/s, LINK flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 316 × 333 km, completing one revolution every 90.9 minutes — about 15.8 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0013). Its 20.6° inclination keeps its ground track over the tropics and lower mid-latitudes. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 266.4°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 7.87° per day.

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