RISAT-2B — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 44233)
Track RISAT-2B (NORAD catalog number 44233) 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 2019, launched on the 28th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2019-028A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 40,162 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.58 km/s, RISAT-2B flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 567 × 576 km, completing one revolution every 95.9 minutes — about 15.0 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0006). Its 37.0° inclination keeps its ground track over the tropics and lower mid-latitudes. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 170.2°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 5.92° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
RISAT-2B is one of 4,464 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 RISAT-2B from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, RISAT-2B 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 are available on this page once you select the satellite and share your position for when it is above your horizon and sunlit.
