About NOAA 14

NOAA 14 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Dec 30, 1994 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 102 minutes (14.1 times a day), between 836 and 851 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.5° 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.
