About TSX-5

TSX-5 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jun 7, 2000 from Pegasus launched from Western Range Air Space.

It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.6 times a day), between 381 and 977 km up, on an orbit tilted 68.9° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 69° north and south.

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

Over the last 24 days its lowest point went from 381 km to 381 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
