ORBCOMM FM32 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 25982)
Track ORBCOMM FM32 (NORAD catalog number 25982) live on the WatchSat interactive 3D globe above. Its position is propagated in real time from the latest CelesTrak two-line element set using the SGP4/SDP4 orbital model — the same math professional trackers run. It is object C of 1999's 65th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 1999-065C).
Moving at about 7.47 km/s, ORBCOMM FM32 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 771 × 779 km, completing one revolution every 100.2 minutes — about 14.4 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0006). Inclined 45.0° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 45° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 147.1°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 4.73° per day.

Can you see ORBCOMM FM32 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, ORBCOMM FM32 is visible only around dawn and dusk, when your sky is dark but the satellite is still sunlit — and whether you can spot it depends on its size and reflectivity. See pass predictions for your location for when it is above your horizon and sunlit.
