COSMOS 2510 (EKS 1) — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 41032)
Track COSMOS 2510 (EKS 1) (NORAD catalog number 41032) 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 2015, launched on the 66th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2015-066A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 7,909 revolutions of Earth.
Its speed swings from 1.57 km/s at apogee to 9.59 km/s at perigee. COSMOS 2510 (EKS 1) follows a highly elliptical orbit, completing a revolution every 12.0 hours. The orbit is strongly elliptical (eccentricity 0.7193): each revolution swings from 1,080 km at perigee out to 39,278 km at apogee. Inclined 63.4° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 63° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 335.0°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 0.13° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
COSMOS 2510 (EKS 1) 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 COSMOS 2510 (EKS 1) from the ground?
Not with the naked eye. At its altitude COSMOS 2510 (EKS 1) 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.
