About ORBCOMM FM 3

ORBCOMM FM 3 is a satellite from ORB, launched on Feb 10, 1998 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.4 times a day), between 743 and 803 km up, on an orbit tilted 108.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 72° north and south.

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