About ORBVIEW 2 (SEASTAR)

ORBVIEW 2 (SEASTAR) is a satellite from the United States, launched on Aug 1, 1997 from Pegasus launched from Western Range Air Space.

It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.4 times a day), between 771 and 775 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.9° 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.

Orbit height over the past year

Over the last 22 days its lowest point went from 771 km to 771 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
