COSMOS 2483 (RODNIK-S 5) — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 39058)
Track COSMOS 2483 (RODNIK-S 5) (NORAD catalog number 39058) 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 B of 2013's 1st orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2013-001B). It went up together with 2 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 61,179 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.13 km/s, COSMOS 2483 (RODNIK-S 5) flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 1,484 × 1,509 km, completing one revolution every 115.8 minutes — about 12.4 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0016). Inclined 82.5° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 163.8°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 0.62° per day.

Can you see COSMOS 2483 (RODNIK-S 5) from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, COSMOS 2483 (RODNIK-S 5) 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.
