About INTELSAT 804

INTELSAT 804 is a satellite from ITSO, launched on Dec 21, 1997 from French Guiana.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 163°E, 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.
