About AMSAT ECHO

AMSAT ECHO is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jun 29, 2004 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.4 times a day), between 688 and 803 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.
