SHIYAN-10 02 (SY-10 02) — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 54878)
Track SHIYAN-10 02 (SY-10 02) (NORAD catalog number 54878) 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 2022, launched on the 178th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2022-178A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 1,814 revolutions of Earth.
Its speed swings from 1.66 km/s at apogee to 9.06 km/s at perigee. SHIYAN-10 02 (SY-10 02) follows a highly elliptical orbit, completing a revolution every 12.0 hours. The orbit is strongly elliptical (eccentricity 0.6908): each revolution swings from 1,841 km at perigee out to 38,525 km at apogee. Inclined 64.0° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 64° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 311.5°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 0.11° per day.

Can you see SHIYAN-10 02 (SY-10 02) from the ground?
Not with the naked eye. At its altitude SHIYAN-10 02 (SY-10 02) 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.
