STARLINK-4133

STARLINK-4133 is an active satellite operated by SpaceX (United States), launched on 2022-07-24 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at altitudes between 537 km and 539 km with an inclination of 53.2°. It travels at approximately 27,344 km/h (7.60 km/s), completing one full orbit every 95 minutes — that’s roughly 15.12 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 ~3–10 years. Orbital Radar tracks STARLINK-4133 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.

STARLINK-4133 orbits at an average altitude of 538 km in the core of Low Earth Orbit, the most heavily utilised altitude band. The balance of moderate drag (limiting debris accumulation) and short signal path (enabling low-latency links and high-resolution imaging) makes this regime the default for most commercial and government missions. Within ±50 km of STARLINK-4133’s average altitude, there are currently 3,496 active payloads and 322 tracked debris or rocket body fragments — notable neighbours include STARLINK-1184, STARLINK-1276, STARLINK-1451. This makes it one of the more crowded altitude bands, containing roughly 20.1% of all active satellites. With an inclination of 53.2°, STARLINK-4133 passes over latitudes between 53.2°N and 53.2°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 2,825 share a similar altitude band with STARLINK-4133.
