KUIPER-00226 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 67785)
Track KUIPER-00226 (NORAD catalog number 67785) 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 X of 2026's 30th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2026-030X). It went up together with 31 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.
Moving at about 7.54 km/s, KUIPER-00226 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 633 × 637 km, completing one revolution every 97.3 minutes — about 14.8 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0002). Inclined 51.9° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 52° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 59.9°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 4.43° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
KUIPER-00226 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 KUIPER-00226 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, KUIPER-00226 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.
