About OSCAR 16 (PACSAT)
OSCAR 16 (PACSAT) is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jan 22, 1990 from French Guiana.
It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.3 times a day), between 771 and 786 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.8° 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.
