COSMOS 2407 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 28380)
Track COSMOS 2407 (NORAD catalog number 28380) 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 has been on orbit since 2004, launched on the 28th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2004-028A).
Moving at about 7.39 km/s, COSMOS 2407 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 955 × 1,013 km, completing one revolution every 104.6 minutes — about 13.8 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0040). Inclined 83.0° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 14.3°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 0.74° per day.

Can you see COSMOS 2407 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, COSMOS 2407 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.
