HULIANWANG DIGUI-180

HULIANWANG DIGUI-180 (NORAD ID 100205) is a space object catalogued under China, launched on 2026-08-04 from Wenchang, China on the WHDW 23 launch. As a relatively recent addition to the catalogue, its orbital elements are well-characterised. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at altitudes between 1,094 km and 1,108 km with an inclination of 50.0°. It travels at approximately 26,294 km/h (7.30 km/s), completing one full orbit every 107 minutes — that’s roughly 13.42 orbits per day. Its near-circular orbit (eccentricity close to zero) means it maintains a very consistent altitude throughout each revolution. It is part of the Hulianwang constellation group. At its current altitude, the estimated orbital lifetime before atmospheric re-entry is ~500–1,000 years. Orbital Radar tracks HULIANWANG DIGUI-180 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.

HULIANWANG DIGUI-180 orbits at an average altitude of 1,101 km in the upper LEO band, where atmospheric drag is negligible and objects can persist for centuries to millennia. This altitude is used by broadband constellations like OneWeb and by scientific missions requiring stable orbits far from the densest debris bands. Within ±50 km of HULIANWANG DIGUI-180’s average altitude, there are currently 339 active payloads and 388 tracked debris or rocket body fragments — notable neighbours include ONEWEB-0041. With an inclination of 50.0°, HULIANWANG DIGUI-180 passes over latitudes between 50.0°N and 50.0°S, covering the tropical and temperate zones where most of the world’s population resides. Low-to-mid inclination orbits are efficient to reach from equatorial and mid-latitude launch sites. China operates approximately 1,251 active satellites in total, of which 320 share a similar altitude band with HULIANWANG DIGUI-180.
