About UPM/LBSAT

UPM/LBSAT is a satellite from SPN, launched on Jul 7, 1995 from French Guiana.

It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.8 times a day), between 609 and 618 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.
