About NAVSTAR 22 (USA 66)

NAVSTAR 22 (USA 66) is a satellite from the United States, launched on Nov 26, 1990 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It circles Earth every 765 minutes (1.9 times a day), between 21,275 and 21,400 km up, on an orbit tilted 56.3° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 56° 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 7 days its lowest point went from 21,275 km to 21,275 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
