Current orbit
View on live mapOne orbit takes a day, as long as the Earth takes to turn, so Tongxin Jishu Shiyan 19 keeps above 160.4° E of the equator and never crosses the sky.
It never rises or sets
Tongxin Jishu Shiyan 19 turns with the Earth, standing over one longitude of the equator. From anywhere it can be seen at all it is up day and night, in the same direction, so there is no pass to wait for.
No brightness has been published for Tongxin Jishu Shiyan 19, 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 wait for: it never crosses the sky. From the half of the Earth it stands over it keeps the same point day and night, and from the other half it never rises at all.

In orbit
- Close approaches
- No close approach to Tongxin Jishu Shiyan 19 has been reported publicly in the past thirty days.
From Space-Track’s public conjunction messages; the latest report was issued Nov 8, 2026, 1:11 PM, 3 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.
