SHIYAN-25 (SY-25) — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 57047)
Track SHIYAN-25 (SY-25) (NORAD catalog number 57047) 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 2023, launched on the 87th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2023-087A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 18,784 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.75 km/s, SHIYAN-25 (SY-25) flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 272 × 286 km, completing one revolution every 89.9 minutes — about 16.0 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0010). Inclined 96.9° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 314.2°. Earth's equatorial bulge precesses that plane eastward about 1.03° per day, matching the Sun's apparent motion — which is what holds its lighting constant.

Can you see SHIYAN-25 (SY-25) from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, SHIYAN-25 (SY-25) 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.
