About UNISAT 2

UNISAT 2 is a satellite from Italy, launched on Dec 20, 2002 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.8 times a day), between 578 and 652 km up, on an orbit tilted 64.6° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 65° north and south.

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