About OV1-2

OV1-2 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Oct 5, 1965 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 111 minutes (13.0 times a day), between 396 and 2,110 km up, on an orbit tilted 144.2° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 36° 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 8 days its lowest point went from 396 km to 396 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
