📖 About This Object
STARLINK-32033 is an active satellite operated by SpaceX (United States), launched on 2024-06-27 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at altitudes between 462 km and 464 km with an inclination of 53.2°. It travels at approximately 27,494 km/h (7.64 km/s), completing one full orbit every 94 minutes — that’s roughly 15.34 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 ~1–3 years. Orbital Radar tracks STARLINK-32033 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.
🌍 Orbit Context
STARLINK-32033 orbits at an average altitude of 463 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-32033’s average altitude, there are currently 7,982 active payloads and 179 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 45.8% of all active satellites. With an inclination of 53.2°, STARLINK-32033 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 7,424 share a similar altitude band with STARLINK-32033.
🔗 Starlink Constellation
This satellite is part of SpaceX's Starlink mega-constellation, the largest satellite constellation ever deployed. Starlink provides low-latency broadband internet to users in 70+ countries using thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit at altitudes between 540–570 km. Each satellite weighs approximately 260–300 kg (v1.5/v2 Mini) and uses krypton-ion thrusters for station-keeping and end-of-life deorbiting. The constellation is designed for autonomous collision avoidance manoeuvring. As of 2026, approximately 9,850 Starlink satellites are operational, with SpaceX targeting 12,000 in the initial shell and up to 42,000 approved.
