APEX ARIES 1 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 59129)
Track APEX ARIES 1 (NORAD catalog number 59129) 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 AH of 2024's 43rd orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2024-043AH). It went up together with 32 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 14,212 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.68 km/s, APEX ARIES 1 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 392 × 398 km, completing one revolution every 92.3 minutes — about 15.6 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0004). Inclined 97.6° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 55.1°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane eastward about 1.07° per day.

Can you see APEX ARIES 1 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, APEX ARIES 1 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.
