YAOGAN-39 05C — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 58559)
Track YAOGAN-39 05C (NORAD catalog number 58559) 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 2023's 194th orbital launch (COSPAR designation 2023-194C). It went up together with 2 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 15,260 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.62 km/s, YAOGAN-39 05C flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 513 × 534 km, completing one revolution every 95.0 minutes — about 15.2 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0016). 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 289.4°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 6.22° per day.

Can you see YAOGAN-39 05C from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, YAOGAN-39 05C 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.
