Track KOREASAT 5 (MUGUNGWHA 5) live — orbit, position & pass times
KOREASAT 5 (MUGUNGWHA 5) is a communications satellite relaying TV, internet or telephone traffic, launched in 2006 and tracked in orbit ever since (NORAD 29349). Cosmik shows its live position in real-time 3D, computed in your browser from current orbital data — free, no login.
It sits in geostationary orbit roughly 35,802 km above the equator, completing one orbit per day so it hovers over the same spot on Earth. That's why it never appears to move across the sky — and why it's far too faint for the naked eye. In Cosmik's 3D view you can see it parked on the geostationary ring alongside its neighbors.
