About GOES 11

GOES 11 is a satellite from the United States, launched on May 3, 2000 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 83°W, 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.

Orbit height over the past year

Over the last 365 days its lowest point went from 36,110 km to 36,111 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
