About GLOBALSTAR M059

GLOBALSTAR M059 is a satellite from GLOB, launched on Oct 18, 1999 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 120 minutes (12.0 times a day), between 1,681 and 1,681 km up, on an orbit tilted 52.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 52° north and south.

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