COSMOS 2588 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 64095)
Track COSMOS 2588 (NORAD catalog number 64095) 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 2025, launched on the 109th orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2025-109A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 7,207 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.63 km/s, COSMOS 2588 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 482 × 495 km, completing one revolution every 94.2 minutes — about 15.3 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0009). Inclined 73.0° to the equator, it overflies every latitude up to about 73° north and south. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 24.1°. Earth's equatorial bulge drifts that plane westward about 2.26° per day.

About the Other Active Satellites group
COSMOS 2588 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 COSMOS 2588 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, COSMOS 2588 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.
