Track FENGYUN 3A live — orbit, position & pass times
FENGYUN 3A is a meteorological satellite feeding the world's weather forecasts, launched in 2008 and tracked in orbit ever since (NORAD 32958). Cosmik shows its live position in real-time 3D, computed in your browser from current orbital data — free, no login.
It flies a sun-synchronous polar orbit about 827 km up, inclined 98.7° — crossing the equator at the same local solar time every day, which is exactly what consistent daily imaging needs. Like most polar satellites it can pass over your sky around dawn and dusk; it's a faint moving point, best caught with binoculars and a live tracker.
