About ARTEMIS

ARTEMIS is a satellite from the European Space Agency, launched on Jul 12, 2001 from French Guiana.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 39°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.

Over the last 24 days its lowest point went from 36,003 km to 36,005 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
