In view from you
Nobody watches NAVSTAR 75 (USA 265) 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 NAVSTAR 75 (USA 265), 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.
Timeline
Summary
Over Australia LIVE
Where is NAVSTAR 75 (USA 265)?
At 4:09:14 AM UTC NAVSTAR 75 (USA 265) was over Australia (24.2° S, 117.7° E), 19,898 km up, moving at 3.92 km/s and in sunlight.
What is NAVSTAR 75 (USA 265)?
A GPS navigation satellite in medium Earth orbit, in space since Oct 31, 2015.
Can I see NAVSTAR 75 (USA 265)?
No, not with the naked eye: no brightness has been published for NAVSTAR 75 (USA 265), and nothing here estimates one; receivers on the ground use its signals instead, whenever it is above their horizon.

In orbit
- Close approaches
- No close approach to NAVSTAR 75 (USA 265) has been reported publicly in the past thirty days.
From Space-Track’s public conjunction messages; the latest report was issued Nov 2, 2026, 1:53 PM, 14 hours old. Only approaches serious enough to be reported publicly are listed: within three days and, for two bodies near the Earth, closer than a kilometre with a chance of a collision above 1 in 10,000, the level at which NASA moves the ISS.
