About YAMAL 102

YAMAL 102 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Sep 6, 1999 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 121°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.
