YAOGAN-35 03B — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 53318)
Track YAOGAN-35 03B (NORAD catalog number 53318) 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 2022's 88th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2022-088C). It went up together with 1 other satellite from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 22,882 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.63 km/s, YAOGAN-35 03B flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 487 × 504 km, completing one revolution every 94.4 minutes — about 15.3 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0012). Its 35.0° inclination keeps its ground track over the tropics and lower mid-latitudes. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 53.2°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 6.31° per day.

Can you see YAOGAN-35 03B from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, YAOGAN-35 03B 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.
