HULIANWANG DIGUI-181

HULIANWANG DIGUI-181 (NORAD ID 100206) 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 1,096 km and 1,107 km with an inclination of 50.0°. It travels at approximately 26,293 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-181 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.

HULIANWANG DIGUI-181 orbits at an average altitude of 1,102 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-181’s average altitude, there are currently 337 active payloads and 385 tracked debris or rocket body fragments — notable neighbours include ONEWEB-0041. With an inclination of 50.0°, HULIANWANG DIGUI-181 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 319 share a similar altitude band with HULIANWANG DIGUI-181.
