About INTELSAT 510

INTELSAT 510 is a satellite from ITSO, launched on Mar 22, 1985 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 50°E, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.

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 36,230 km to 36,229 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
