STARLINK-2363

STARLINK-2363 is an active satellite operated by SpaceX (United States), launched on 2021-03-14 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at altitudes between 283 km and 287 km with an inclination of 53.1°. It travels at approximately 27,859 km/h (7.74 km/s), completing one full orbit every 90 minutes — that’s roughly 15.97 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 Starlink constellation group. At its current altitude, the estimated orbital lifetime before atmospheric re-entry is weeks to months. Orbital Radar tracks STARLINK-2363 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.

STARLINK-2363 orbits at an average altitude of 285 km in the lower reaches of Low Earth Orbit, where atmospheric drag is significant and orbital lifetimes are measured in months to a few years. This is the busiest corridor in space — home to crewed spacecraft, rapid-revisit imaging satellites and the densest part of the Starlink constellation. Within ±50 km of STARLINK-2363’s average altitude, there are currently 295 active payloads and 9 tracked debris or rocket body fragments — notable neighbours include STARLINK-1067, STARLINK-1151, STARLINK-1143. With an inclination of 53.1°, STARLINK-2363 passes over latitudes between 53.1°N and 53.1°S, covering most populated land masses in both hemispheres. This mid-inclination band balances global coverage with efficient launch energy requirements. United States operates approximately 12,339 active satellites in total, of which 262 share a similar altitude band with STARLINK-2363.
