About OSCAR 22 (UOSAT 5)

OSCAR 22 (UOSAT 5) is a satellite from the United Kingdom, launched on Jul 17, 1991 from French Guiana.

It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.4 times a day), between 745 and 756 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.3° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 82° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
