LANDSAT 9 — Visible Passes (NORAD 49260)
Find out when LANDSAT 9 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 709–711 km with a 99-minute period, inclined 98.2° 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.
