ONEWEB-0622

ONEWEB-0622 is an active satellite operated by OneWeb Satellites (United Kingdom), launched on 2023-01-10 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at altitudes between 1,216 km and 1,220 km with an inclination of 87.9°. It travels at approximately 26,090 km/h (7.25 km/s), completing one full orbit every 110 minutes — that’s roughly 13.11 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-0622 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.

ONEWEB-0622 orbits at an average altitude of 1,218 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-0622’s average altitude, there are currently 717 active payloads and 227 tracked debris or rocket body fragments — notable neighbours include ONEWEB-0012, ONEWEB-0010, ONEWEB-0008. With an inclination of 87.9°, ONEWEB-0622 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 648 share a similar altitude band with ONEWEB-0622.
