About MOST

MOST is a satellite from Canada, launched on Jun 30, 2003 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 101 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 814 and 828 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.7° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 81° north and south.

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 24 days its lowest point went from 815 km to 814 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
