EUTELSAT 10B

EUTELSAT 10B is an active satellite operated by Eutelsat (Eutelsat), launched on 2022-11-23 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It orbits in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) at altitudes between 35,784 km and 35,793 km with an inclination of 0.1°. It travels at approximately 11,069 km/h (3.07 km/s), completing one full orbit every ~24 hours (geosynchronous) — that’s roughly 1.00 orbits per day. It is part of the Eutelsat constellation group. At geostationary altitude, there is no meaningful atmospheric drag — this object will remain in orbit indefinitely unless actively deorbited. Orbital Radar tracks EUTELSAT 10B in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.

EUTELSAT 10B occupies geostationary orbit at approximately 35,786 km above the equator, where its orbital period matches the Earth’s 24-hour rotation. From the ground, it appears to hover over a fixed point — ideal for broadcast television, weather monitoring and wideband communications. Within ±50 km of EUTELSAT 10B’s average altitude, there are currently 715 active payloads and 61 tracked debris or rocket body fragments — notable neighbours include ASTRA 1N, GOES 16, TDRS 13. Eutelsat operates approximately 62 active satellites in total, of which 28 share a similar altitude band with EUTELSAT 10B.
