STARLINK-37755

STARLINK-37755 is an active satellite operated by SpaceX (United States), launched on 2026-05-26 from Vandenberg SFB, California on the Starlink Group 17-37 launch. As a relatively recent addition to the catalogue, its orbital elements are well-characterised. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at altitudes between 394 km and 396 km with an inclination of 97.3°. It travels at approximately 27,632 km/h (7.68 km/s), completing one full orbit every 92 minutes — that’s roughly 15.53 orbits per day. Its near-polar, sun-synchronous orbit means it passes over any given point on Earth at approximately the same local solar time, ideal for consistent Earth observation lighting conditions. 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 months to ~1 year. Orbital Radar tracks STARLINK-37755 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.

STARLINK-37755 orbits at an average altitude of 395 km in a sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), a specialised subset of LEO where the orbital plane precesses to maintain a constant angle relative to the Sun. This provides consistent lighting conditions on every pass — essential for Earth observation, weather monitoring and environmental science. Within ±50 km of STARLINK-37755’s average altitude, there are currently 1,274 active payloads and 85 tracked debris or rocket body fragments — notable neighbours include STARLINK-1008, STARLINK-1012, STARLINK-1020. This makes it one of the more crowded altitude bands, containing roughly 7.3% of all active satellites. With an inclination of 97.3°, STARLINK-37755 passes over latitudes between 97.3°N and 97.3°S, providing near-global coverage including the polar regions. Polar and near-polar orbits are used for reconnaissance, weather monitoring and Earth-observation missions that need to image every part of the planet. United States operates approximately 12,413 active satellites in total, of which 1,121 share a similar altitude band with STARLINK-37755.
