📖 About This Object
ONEWEB-0113 is an active satellite operated by OneWeb Satellites (United Kingdom), launched on 2021-03-25 from Vostochny, Russia. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at altitudes between 1,207 km and 1,210 km with an inclination of 87.9°. It travels at approximately 26,107 km/h (7.25 km/s), completing one full orbit every 110 minutes — that’s roughly 13.14 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 Oneweb constellation group. At its current altitude, the estimated orbital lifetime before atmospheric re-entry is thousands of years. Orbital Radar tracks ONEWEB-0113 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.
🌍 Orbit Context
ONEWEB-0113 orbits at an average altitude of 1,209 km in the uppermost reaches of Low Earth Orbit. At this altitude, orbital decay is effectively zero without active deorbiting, and coverage footprints are significantly larger than lower LEO, though at the cost of higher latency. Within ±50 km of ONEWEB-0113’s average altitude, there are currently 733 active payloads and 210 tracked debris or rocket body fragments — notable neighbours include ONEWEB-0012, ONEWEB-0010, ONEWEB-0008. With an inclination of 87.9°, ONEWEB-0113 passes over latitudes between 87.9°N and 87.9°S, providing near-global coverage including the polar regions. Polar and near-polar orbits are used for reconnaissance, weather monitoring and Earth-observation missions that need to image every part of the planet. United Kingdom operates approximately 720 active satellites in total, of which 649 share a similar altitude band with ONEWEB-0113.
🔗 OneWeb Constellation
This satellite is part of the Eutelsat OneWeb broadband constellation, operating 648 satellites at approximately 1,200 km altitude in polar orbits. OneWeb provides connectivity to enterprise, government, maritime and aviation customers, with a focus on bridging the digital divide in remote areas. Each satellite weighs around 150 kg and communicates in Ku-band. Following bankruptcy and acquisition by the UK government and Bharti Global, OneWeb merged with Eutelsat in 2023 to create a combined GEO/LEO operator.

Yes — Orbital Radar tracks ONEWEB-0113 (NORAD ID 48050) using the latest TLE (two-line element set) data from Space-Track and CelesTrak. Open the live tracker to see its current position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated in real time. You can also browse the satellite directory to find other tracked objects.
ONEWEB-0113 travels at approximately 26,107 km/h (16,222 mph) — roughly 7.25 km/s. It completes 13.14 orbits per day, meaning the crew or instruments aboard (if any) would experience approximately 26 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours.
ONEWEB-0113 is a member of the Oneweb constellation. Satellites in this group work together to provide coordinated coverage, typically in similar orbital planes at comparable altitudes. You can view all Oneweb satellites on Orbital Radar’s live tracker.
