Reentries

Recent reentries

Objects whose decay date has been published in the CelesTrak SATCAT, i.e. confirmed atmospheric reentries. SatelliteIndex reports what the catalogue says — it does not forecast when or where anything will come down.

Low-perigee watch

Objects currently under 250 km perigee

Not a prediction

Decay dates are those published in the CelesTrak SATCAT. The low-perigee watch lists objects with a perigee under 250 km: it is NOT a reentry prediction and gives no time or location.

Perigee and apogee come from the latest element set (SGP4 mean elements, km). Actively manoeuvring satellites (e.g. during orbit raising) routinely sit under 250 km without decaying.

Predicted reentries — no reentry-prediction source connected yet; unavailable

SatelliteIndex does not compute reentry windows or ground tracks itself and will only show predictions once an authoritative source is connected, with its own attribution. See methodology and sources.
