COSMOS 2600 — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 67674)
Track COSMOS 2600 (NORAD catalog number 67674) 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 2026, launched on the 23rd orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 2026-023A). It went up together with 8 other satellites from that launch still in the active catalog. As of this element set it had completed roughly 3,372 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 7.72 km/s, COSMOS 2600 flies in low Earth orbit at an altitude of roughly 326 × 333 km, completing one revolution every 91.0 minutes — about 15.8 trips around Earth per day. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0005). Inclined 96.8° — nearly pole-to-pole — its ground track sweeps essentially every latitude. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 321.1°. Earth's equatorial bulge precesses that plane eastward about 0.99° per day, matching the Sun's apparent motion — which is what holds its lighting constant.

About the Other Active Satellites group
COSMOS 2600 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 2600 from the ground?
Sometimes. Like most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft, COSMOS 2600 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.
