About LES 2

LES 2 is a satellite from the United States, launched on May 6, 1965 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It circles Earth every 310 minutes (4.6 times a day), between 2,774 and 14,802 km up, on an orbit tilted 32.2° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 32° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
