About SICH 1

SICH 1 is a satellite from UKR, launched on Aug 31, 1995 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (14.9 times a day), between 570 and 594 km up, on an orbit tilted 82.5° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° north and south.

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