About OSCAR 23

OSCAR 23 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Apr 26, 1988 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 108 minutes (13.3 times a day), between 1,012 and 1,298 km up, on an orbit tilted 90.3° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 90° 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 1,011 km to 1,012 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
