About SCD 2

SCD 2 is a satellite from BRAZ, launched on Oct 23, 1998 from Pegasus launched from Eastern Range Air Space.

It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.5 times a day), between 728 and 752 km up, on an orbit tilted 25.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 25° 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 23 days its lowest point went from 728 km to 728 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
