COSMOS 2434 [GLONASS-M] — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 32393)
Track COSMOS 2434 [GLONASS-M] (NORAD catalog number 32393) 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 2007, launched on the 65th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2007-065A). It went up together with 1 other satellite from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 14,643 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 3.95 km/s, COSMOS 2434 [GLONASS-M] operates in medium Earth orbit at roughly 19,129–19,145 km altitude, taking about 11.3 hours per revolution (2.13 orbits a day). The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0003). Inclined 64.3° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 64° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 187.7°.

About the Navigation group
COSMOS 2434 [GLONASS-M] is part of Russia's GLONASS fleet — one of 156 global-navigation satellites in the WatchSat catalog across GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. GNSS spacecraft broadcast precise time signals from orbits around 20,000 km up; a phone fixes its position by comparing several of them at once. See the whole navigation group live in 3D.
Can you see COSMOS 2434 [GLONASS-M] from the ground?
Not with the naked eye. At its altitude COSMOS 2434 [GLONASS-M] is far beyond unaided visibility — following satellites this high takes a telescope and good timing. You can still track it precisely in the live 3D view above, or check the “When can I see it?” panel in the live view.
