NOAA 20 (JPSS-1) — Visible Passes (NORAD 43013)
Find out when NOAA 20 (JPSS-1) is visible to the naked eye from your location. Share your position on this page and WatchSat computes the next passes in your browser: the exact rise time, which direction it appears and disappears, how high it climbs, and how long it stays in view. It orbits at roughly 833–835 km with a 101-minute period, inclined 98.8° to the equator.
A pass is visible when the satellite is above your horizon while your sky is dark and the spacecraft is still lit by the Sun — which is why sightings cluster around dawn and dusk. Predictions use the SGP4 orbital model with the latest CelesTrak element sets.
