NAVSTAR 64 (USA 206) — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 35752)
Track NAVSTAR 64 (USA 206) (NORAD catalog number 35752) 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 2009, launched on the 43rd orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2009-043A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 12,587 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 3.89 km/s, NAVSTAR 64 (USA 206) operates in medium Earth orbit at roughly 20,055–20,322 km altitude, taking about 12.0 hours per revolution (2.01 orbits a day). The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0050). Inclined 56.3° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 56° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 22.5°.

About the Navigation group
NAVSTAR 64 (USA 206) is part of the US GPS (NAVSTAR) 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 NAVSTAR 64 (USA 206) from the ground?
Not with the naked eye. At its altitude NAVSTAR 64 (USA 206) 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.
