About COSMOS 1802

COSMOS 1802 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Nov 24, 1986 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 105 minutes (13.7 times a day), between 957 and 1,021 km up, on an orbit tilted 82.9° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° 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 957 km to 957 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
