About NOAA 11

NOAA 11 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Sep 24, 1988 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 102 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 832 and 847 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.6° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 81° 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 365 days its lowest point went from 832 km to 832 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
