About GONETS D1 1

GONETS D1 1 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Feb 19, 1996 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 114 minutes (12.6 times a day), between 1,396 and 1,416 km up, on an orbit tilted 82.6° 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.

Orbit height over the past year

Over the last 21 days its lowest point went from 1,397 km to 1,397 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
