In view from you

Nobody watches D-SAT go over, but a receiver still asks whether it is above the horizon. Say where you are and this card answers.

Your position is rounded to about a kilometre and sent only to the Orbinauts API, to find the pass.

No brightness has been published for D-SAT, so it is not a naked-eye satellite and no city page carries pass times for it. Nothing here estimates one.

Seeing it

There is nothing to go outside for: it is too faint to see with the naked eye from anywhere on Earth.

Summary

Over the Atlantic Ocean LIVE

Where is D-SAT?

At 5:39:18 PM UTC D-SAT was over the Atlantic Ocean (33.3° N, 26.1° W), 460 km up, moving at 7.67 km/s and in sunlight.

What is D-SAT?

A satellite in low Earth orbit, in space since Jun 23, 2017.

Can I see D-SAT?

No, not with the naked eye: no brightness has been published for D-SAT, and nothing here estimates one.

No operator publishes an ephemeris for D-SAT, so every position here comes from its orbital elements.

In orbit

Close approaches
No close approach to D-SAT has been reported publicly in the past thirty days.

From Space-Track’s public conjunction messages; the latest report was issued Nov 8, 2026, 1:11 PM, 3 hours old. Only approaches serious enough to be reported publicly are listed: within three days and, for two bodies near the Earth, closer than a kilometre with a chance of a collision above 1 in 10,000, the level at which NASA moves the ISS.

See every close approach reported in orbit.

Launched with

D-SAT shares its launch, 2017-036, with one other body the catalogue lists in orbit.

BodyWhat it is
CARTOSAT 2EEarth-watching satellite

Read from the international designators of the US catalogue: the year and the launch number every piece of one launch shares. A body that has come down is no longer listed.
