Frequently asked questions
How fast does Starlink-40083 travel?
Its speed follows from its orbit: one revolution every 91 minutes. Low-orbit satellites move at roughly 7.5 km per second (27,000 km/h); the higher the orbit, the slower the satellite. The live strip above shows the current ground speed.
Can I see Starlink-40083 from the ground?
Often, yes. It is large or reflective enough to show as a moving star when your sky is dark and the satellite is still in sunlight, which happens within a couple of hours of sunset or sunrise. Use the pass predictor above.
Why does the position keep moving across the map?
The satellite moves several kilometers every second while Earth rotates underneath it, so each orbit’s ground track lands west of the last one. The orbit itself is fixed in space; the map shows where it is above the turning Earth.
Where does the live position come from?
From the object’s published orbital elements (NORAD general perturbations data via CelesTrak), propagated with the SGP4 model in your browser. The same data drives the satellite layer on the EarthBrowser globe. Elements are refreshed daily, which keeps positions good to a few kilometers.
