Galileo FM2, launched in October 2011, was one of the first operational Galileo satellites. It helped validate the European navigation system's signals and began building the constellation that now rivals GPS.
GALILEO-FM2 is a cataloged satellite tracked under NORAD ID 37847 with international designator 11060B. According to the GCAT master catalog, it was built by EADSB/THALR, on the GalileoSat platform, with a launch mass of about 700 kg, with a shape described as Box + 2 Pan. According to the TLE snapshot used when this page was generated (2026-08-18), its MEO orbit had an apogee of about 23.234 km and a perigee near 23.224 km, with an inclination of 56.97° and a period of roughly 844.7 minutes; at apogee its speed was about 3.67 km/s. Positions on this page are near-real-time SGP4 predictions propagated from the latest two-line element (TLE) data.
In the TLE snapshot used to generate this page, GALILEO-FM2's apogee was 23.234 km, where its speed was about 3.67 km/s, completing about 1.7 orbits of Earth per day. Track it live on the map above or in the JOT orbital map.
