Eukelade is about 4 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 22.5 million km in 689 days, at an inclination of 165° to the ecliptic, in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.363. The name ends in an "e" because the orbit is retrograde.
Eukelade belongs to the Carme group, made up of irregular retrograde moons orbiting Jupiter at a distance ranging between 23 and 24 million km and at an inclination of about 165°.
