In view from you

Nobody watches GALILEO-PFM go over, but a receiver still asks whether it is above the horizon. Say where you are and this card answers.

Your position is rounded to about a kilometre and sent only to the Orbinauts API, to find the pass.

No brightness has been published for GALILEO-PFM, so it is not a naked-eye satellite and no city page carries pass times for it. Nothing here estimates one.

Seeing it

There is nothing to go outside for: it is far too high and too faint for the naked eye. What you notice of it is a position fix, and the card above says whether it is above your horizon to give you one.

Summary

Over the Sea of Okhotsk LIVE

Where is GALILEO-PFM?

At 8:56:47 PM UTC GALILEO-PFM was over the Sea of Okhotsk (54.2° N, 143.1° E), 23,230 km up, moving at 3.67 km/s and in sunlight.

What is GALILEO-PFM?

A navigation satellite in medium Earth orbit, one of the 27 navigation satellites of the Galileo constellation.

Can I see GALILEO-PFM?

No, not with the naked eye: no brightness has been published for GALILEO-PFM, and nothing here estimates one; receivers on the ground use its signals instead, whenever it is above their horizon.
