About OV3-3

OV3-3 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Aug 4, 1966 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 107 minutes (13.5 times a day), between 334 and 1,827 km up, on an orbit tilted 81.3° 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.

Over the last 9 days its lowest point went from 334 km to 334 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
