About ORBCOMM FM 7

ORBCOMM FM 7 is a satellite from ORB, launched on Dec 23, 1997 from Pegasus launched from Eastern Range Air Space.

It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.5 times a day), between 731 and 735 km up, on an orbit tilted 45.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 45° north and south.

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