SENTINEL 2A is a cataloged satellite tracked under NORAD ID 40697 with international designator 15028A. According to the GCAT master catalog, it was built by ADSB, on the Sentinel-2 platform, with a launch mass of about 1130 kg, with a shape described as Box + 1 panel. According to the TLE snapshot used when this page was generated (2026-08-18), its LEO orbit had an apogee of about 797 km and a perigee near 795 km, with an inclination of 98.56° and a period of roughly 100.6 minutes; at apogee its speed was about 7.46 km/s. Positions on this page are near-real-time SGP4 predictions propagated from the latest two-line element (TLE) data.
In the TLE snapshot used to generate this page, SENTINEL 2A's apogee was 797 km, where its speed was about 7.46 km/s, completing about 14.3 orbits of Earth per day. Track it live on the map above or in the JOT orbital map.
