About GEOSAT

GEOSAT is a satellite from the United States, launched on Mar 13, 1985 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.4 times a day), between 757 and 760 km up, on an orbit tilted 108.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 72° 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 14 days its lowest point went from 757 km to 757 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
