About INTELSAT 707

INTELSAT 707 is a satellite from ITSO, launched on Mar 14, 1996 from French Guiana.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 171°W, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.

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

Over the last 33 days its lowest point went from 35,997 km to 35,998 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
