YUNHAI-2 01C — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 43911)
Track YUNHAI-2 01C (NORAD catalog number 43911) 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 C of 2018's 112th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2018-112C). It went up together with 6 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 40,353 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.45 km/s, YUNHAI-2 01C flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 802 × 803 km, completing one revolution every 100.8 minutes — about 14.3 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0001). Inclined 50.0° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 50° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 358.8°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 4.24° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
YUNHAI-2 01C 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 YUNHAI-2 01C from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, YUNHAI-2 01C 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.
