STARLINK-30144

STARLINK-30144 is an active satellite operated by SpaceX (United States), launched on 2023-06-04 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at altitudes between 439 km and 457 km with an inclination of 43.0°. It travels at approximately 27,524 km/h (7.65 km/s), completing one full orbit every 94 minutes — that’s roughly 15.40 orbits per day. It is part of the Starlink constellation group. At its current altitude, the estimated orbital lifetime before atmospheric re-entry is ~1–3 years. Orbital Radar tracks STARLINK-30144 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.

STARLINK-30144 orbits at an average altitude of 448 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-30144’s average altitude, there are currently 7,696 active payloads and 164 tracked debris or rocket body fragments — notable neighbours include STARLINK-1008, STARLINK-1012, STARLINK-1017. This makes it one of the more crowded altitude bands, containing roughly 44.2% of all active satellites. With an inclination of 43.0°, STARLINK-30144 passes over latitudes between 43.0°N and 43.0°S, covering the tropical and temperate zones where most of the world’s population resides. Low-to-mid inclination orbits are efficient to reach from equatorial and mid-latitude launch sites. United States operates approximately 12,339 active satellites in total, of which 7,325 share a similar altitude band with STARLINK-30144.
