GSAT0206 (GALILEO 10) — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 40890)
Track GSAT0206 (GALILEO 10) (NORAD catalog number 40890) 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 2015's 45th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2015-045B). As of this element set it had completed roughly 6,842 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 3.67 km/s, GSAT0206 (GALILEO 10) operates in medium Earth orbit at roughly 23,222–23,237 km altitude, taking about 14.1 hours per revolution (1.70 orbits a day). The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0002). Inclined 54.9° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 55° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 219.4°.

About the Navigation group
GSAT0206 (GALILEO 10) is part of Europe's Galileo fleet — one of 173 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 GSAT0206 (GALILEO 10) from the ground?
Not with the naked eye. At its altitude GSAT0206 (GALILEO 10) 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 pass predictions for your location.
