About LANDSAT 5

LANDSAT 5 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Mar 1, 1984 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 504 and 600 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.1° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 82° north and south.

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

Orbit height over the past year

Over the last 13 days its lowest point went from 504 km to 504 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
