In view from you

Nobody watches SPACEMOBILE-006 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 SPACEMOBILE-006, 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 too faint for the naked eye. What reaches you from it reaches a dish or an antenna, not an eye.

Summary

Over the People's Republic of China LIVE

Where is SPACEMOBILE-006?

At 4:09:12 AM UTC SPACEMOBILE-006 was over the People's Republic of China (44.9° N, 81.6° E), 512 km up, moving at 7.62 km/s and in sunlight.

What is SPACEMOBILE-006?

A BlueBird communications satellite in low Earth orbit, in space since Dec 24, 2025.

Can I see SPACEMOBILE-006?

No, not with the naked eye: no brightness has been published for SPACEMOBILE-006, and nothing here estimates one; the dishes and receivers on the ground use its signals instead.

No operator publishes an ephemeris for SPACEMOBILE-006, so every position here comes from its orbital elements.

In orbit

Close approaches
No close approach to SPACEMOBILE-006 has been reported publicly in the past thirty days.
Losing to drag
SPACEMOBILE-006 is falling about 13 m a day, read from the last 48 days of samples.

From Space-Track’s public conjunction messages; the latest report was issued Nov 2, 2026, 1:53 PM, 11 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.
