STARLINK-32784

STARLINK-32784 is an active satellite operated by SpaceX (United States), launched on 2025-01-13 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. As a relatively recent addition to the catalogue, its orbital elements are well-characterised. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at altitudes between 403 km and 434 km with an inclination of 43.0°. It travels at approximately 27,584 km/h (7.66 km/s), completing one full orbit every 93 minutes — that’s roughly 15.50 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-32784 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.

STARLINK-32784 orbits at an average altitude of 419 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-32784’s average altitude, there are currently 2,639 active payloads and 130 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 15.1% of all active satellites. With an inclination of 43.0°, STARLINK-32784 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 12,360 active satellites in total, of which 2,433 share a similar altitude band with STARLINK-32784.
