About ASTRID 2

ASTRID 2 is a satellite from SWED, launched on Dec 10, 1998 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 105 minutes (13.7 times a day), between 969 and 1,007 km up, on an orbit tilted 82.9° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° north and south.

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