STARLINK-2567
Live orbital tracking for STARLINK-2567, part of the SpaceX Starlink constellation.
About STARLINK-2567 and its orbit
STARLINK-2567 is one of the thousands of mass-produced flat-panel satellites that make up SpaceX's Starlink broadband constellation, catalogued by NORAD as object 48276. It launched in 2021 (international designator 21036A), one of dozens of satellites deployed on a single Falcon 9 rideshare with its batch.
Its 53.2° inclination puts it in Starlink's workhorse 53° shell — the constellation's largest group. Orbits at this tilt sweep over everywhere between about 53° north and 53° south, covering the vast majority of the world's population on every revolution.
It circles the Earth roughly 15.3 times a day — one full orbit every 94 minutes moving at about 7.6 km/s (27,465 km/h). That speed is why a Starlink satellite crosses your whole sky in just a few minutes: the live globe above updates its position in real time from the latest published orbital elements (TLE), propagated with the standard SGP4 model.
STARLINK-2567 is currently around 474 km up, between the ~300 km deployment altitude and the ~550 km operational band, which usually means it is maneuvering — Starlink satellites raise or adjust their orbits with onboard krypton/argon ion thrusters, moving a few kilometres per day.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I see STARLINK-2567 from where I live?
- Only if your latitude is below about 63° north or south — with its 53.2° inclination, STARLINK-2567 never rises far above the horizon for observers poleward of that. When it does pass overhead, it is visible to the naked eye only around dawn or dusk, when the satellite is sunlit while your sky is dark.

- How fast is STARLINK-2567 moving?
- About 7.63 km/s — roughly 27,465 km/h. All satellites at Starlink's altitude must move near this speed to stay in orbit; it's set by physics, not by the operator.
- How accurate is this tracking data?
- Positions are computed from STARLINK-2567's latest public two-line element set (TLE) using the SGP4 model — the same data professional trackers use. Fresh TLEs are accurate to roughly a kilometre; accuracy degrades over days, which is why the data refreshes every few hours.
