SNAP-3 JIMI — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 40975)
Track SNAP-3 JIMI (NORAD catalog number 40975) 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 M of 2015's 58th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2015-058M). It went up together with 11 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog.
Moving at about 7.67 km/s, SNAP-3 JIMI flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 486 × 643 km, completing one revolution every 95.8 minutes — about 15.0 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0113). Inclined 64.8° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 65° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 320.2°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 3.17° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
SNAP-3 JIMI is one of 4,471 active satellites in WatchSat's general catalog — the broad population of Earth-observation, communications, science, amateur-radio and technology spacecraft outside the giant broadband constellations. Browse all other active satellites live in 3D.
Can you see SNAP-3 JIMI from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, SNAP-3 JIMI 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.
