GSAT0224
Live position of GSAT0224, propagated with SGP4. A MEO satellite of Galileo, catalogue number 49810, period about 844.7 minutes, inclination 57.14 degrees. To find out whether it is above a given place on the ground, use KUON SKY.

An equirectangular world map. The thin line is one full orbit of ground track; the bright ring is the area from which this satellite stands above the horizon.

Elevation is the angle above the horizon. The closer to 90 degrees, the more nearly overhead it is, the shorter its path through the atmosphere, and the less likely a building or hill is to cut it off. To count with terrain shadow included, use KUON SKY.

About this system
Operated by the European Union. The satellites sit at about 23,222 km, one orbit taking roughly 14 hours, inclined 56 degrees.
It broadcasts a free high accuracy service (HAS), which lifts the accuracy of a single receiver without a base station.
Signals: E1, E5a, E5b and E6.
About the numbers on this page
- Identity and orbit shape are computed from the orbital elements (OMM) published by CelesTrak. They describe the orbit at the element set epoch; the real orbit drifts slowly away from it.
- A satellite launched recently is still moving toward its assigned slot, so its values change from day to day.
- The live position is an SGP4 prediction. Whether the satellite is actually broadcasting a usable signal cannot be told from this calculation.
- The orbit class is decided mechanically from period and inclination, so it may not match the operator's own wording.
