About COSMOS 1809

COSMOS 1809 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Dec 18, 1986 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 104 minutes (13.8 times a day), between 936 and 960 km up, on an orbit tilted 82.5° 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 15 days its lowest point went from 937 km to 936 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
