About XSS 10

XSS 10 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jan 29, 2003 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.9 times a day), between 494 and 697 km up, on an orbit tilted 39.7° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 40° north and south.

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