About KAISTSAT 4

KAISTSAT 4 is a satellite from South Korea, launched on Sep 27, 2003 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.7 times a day), between 660 and 675 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.4° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 82° 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 366 days its lowest point went from 660 km to 660 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
